// Enrollment

Enrollment with Wisconsin payers

All 24 Wisconsin payers run real-time eligibility with no enrollment step, so checks work from the first day.

On the payment side, 23 of the 24 send electronic remittance advice (835) only after enrollment and 1 does not offer it electronically. 14 use a one-click enrollment and 9 need a multi-step one. Typical enrollment time: a few weeks for 12, within hours for 7, a few days for 3 and over four weeks for 1.

For claims, 8 accept dental claims (837D) electronically and 18 answer claim status requests (276/277). Eligibility checks do not wait on any of it, so you can verify a patient before any of that paperwork is done.

// How to

How to verify a Wisconsin patient's dental coverage

  1. Step 1

    Gather the basics.

    Get the member ID from the insurance card, plus the patient's full name and date of birth.

  2. Step 2

    Pick the payer.

    Match the card to one of the 24 Wisconsin payers above or to a nationwide carrier. Between them, the Wisconsin payers go by 83 billing names and 151 alternate payer IDs, so the card may not match the list word for word.

  3. 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 24.

  4. Step 4

    Read the benefits breakdown.

    Look at active status, deductible, annual maximum, coverage percentages and frequency limits before the patient sits down.
