Dentovio public answer
There is no single dental timely-filing limit — each payer sets its own, and several publish none at all.
There is no single dental timely-filing limit — each payer sets its own, and several publish none at all. Verified against payer-published documents: Cigna allows 90 days participating / 180 out-of-network; Delta Dental's deltadentalins.com enterprise generally denies claims received more than 12 months after treatment; Humana allows 15 months on most fully insured commercial products and 12 months for Medicare claims; UnitedHealthcare's state Medicaid dental manuals run 90 (WI), 180 (NE), and 120 (NY) days; MCNA Texas runs 95 days and Molina Kentucky 365; Medicaid fee-for-service carries a federal 12-month rule (42 CFR 447.45(d)(1)) and Medicare a 1-calendar-year rule (42 CFR 424.44(a)(1)). United Concordia and MetLife publish no public numbers — their guides are login-gated. Provider contracts override published manuals, so the contract number controls.
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. 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.
