# UnitedHealthcare Wisconsin Medicaid timely filing limit Answer: The initial dental filing window for UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Wisconsin (Medicaid dental) is 90 days — “All claims should be submitted within 90 calendar days from the date of service” — the manual says “should,” not “must” (§9.2.c of the Wisconsin Community Plan dental manual, revised 6/30/2026, administered by Dental Benefit Providers). Corrected claims: 365 days — for adjustments/reprocessing, from the date of service or eligibility posting, “only if the initial submission time period has been met” — but the manual's own Appendix A “Corrected Claims” row says 90 days from the date of service; treat 365 as the adjustments rule and confirm before relying on it. Claim appeal (written only): 90 days “after the payment, denial or recoupment of a timely claim submission” (calendar days) — a mailed written route; the Dental Hub portal publishes no appeal-submission tool (the manual's “in writing or telephonically” sentence covers adjustments, not appeals). Provider contracts and plan documents override published manuals — the contract number controls. Last verified 2026-08-30.

Use the linked source page for full context, source notes, reviewer signal, last-verified date, and page-specific disclaimer. ## Review state 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. ## Supporting public URLs - [/dental-timely-filing-limits](https://dentovio.com/dental-timely-filing-limits) - [/dental-claim-denial-codes](https://dentovio.com/dental-claim-denial-codes) - [/dental-prompt-pay-laws](https://dentovio.com/dental-prompt-pay-laws) ## Related answers - [California dental practice compliance checklist](https://dentovio.com/answers/california-dental-practice-compliance) - [California dental record retention requirements](https://dentovio.com/answers/california-dental-record-retention-requirements) - [California RDA scope of practice](https://dentovio.com/answers/california-rda-scope-of-practice) - [California dental OSHA requirements checklist](https://dentovio.com/answers/california-dental-osha-requirements-checklist)
