Great question Erin!
Many times, dental insurance plans hold "yearly maximums" that most medical plans do not hold, so this can help your patient's overall out of pocket expense.

Thank you so much for the info! Is there a particular reason why it should go to medical insurance first?

Hi Erin!
In most cases you will want to file the treatment to the patient's medical insurance first (as long as the treatment that is being provided has a medical diagnosis and is considered medically necessary).
Once you receive the EOB from the primary claim from the medical insurer, you can send along the secondary claim with a copy of the original EOB to the dental insurance.
Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any further questions.

We are going to start billing our multiple implant/implant retained prosthetic cases to medical insurance and I would like to know if there is an ideal method/order to do so. Is it best to submit to dental or medical first...or does it matter?
Many thanks!
