How to verify a New Jersey patient's dental coverage
- Step 1
Gather the basics.
Get the member ID from the insurance card, plus the patient's full name and date of birth.
- Step 2
Pick the payer.
Match the card to one of the 18 New Jersey payers above or to a nationwide carrier. Between them, the New Jersey payers go by 70 billing names and 110 alternate payer IDs, so the card may not match the list word for word.
- Step 3
Run the check.
The eligibility request goes to the payer electronically and the answer comes back in real time, with no enrollment needed first for any of the 18.
- Step 4
Read the benefits breakdown.
Look at active status, deductible, annual maximum, coverage percentages and frequency limits before the patient sits down.
