Why it matters for dental
The American Dental Association has requested regulatory intervention following Delta Dental of California's decision to implement a fee for providers receiving reimbursements via paper checks.
Key points
- Delta Dental of California announced a new administrative fee for dental practices receiving insurance reimbursements via physical paper checks.
- The ADA is petitioning regulators to step in, arguing that insurers should not penalize dentists for choosing traditional payment methods.
- Practice owners and office managers should audit their current payment modalities to avoid unexpected fee deductions from insurance disbursements.
