Dentovio public answer
Delta Dental timely filing limit
Sourced answer
The initial dental filing window for Delta Dental (deltadentalins.com enterprise) is 12 months — “Generally, claims received more than 12 months after the date of treatment may not be paid” — some programs run shorter windows (the guidance names 90 days for the Texas CHIP program). Reevaluation (one per claim): Delta's public pages describe one reevaluation per claim (“Generally, Delta Dental claims support allows one reevaluation per claim”) with no stated deadline; the commercial appeal window lives in the login-gated Dentist Handbook. Provider contracts and plan documents override published manuals — the contract number controls. Last verified 2026-08-30.

Dentovio is an independent publisher — not a payer, the American Dental Association, or any government agency, and it is unaffiliated with the insurers named here. This page was drafted with AI assistance and verified against the primary sources linked here. It has not been reviewed by a credentialed dental billing specialist or attorney. These pages record filing, correction, appeal, records, and recoupment windows as read in each payer's published documents on the last-verified date — and record honestly where no public number exists. Provider contracts override published manuals, editions change, and several payers set different rules per state, network, or program. Educational reference only, not billing or legal advice; confirm the controlling number in your participation contract and the payer's current provider manual before relying on it.
