Published filing window · Last verified 2026-08-30
Ameritas publishes an initial dental filing window of 90 days. Corrected-claim and appeal windows, the exact wording, and sources are below.
Initial claims
90 days
Ameritas phrases this as a member rule — “active insured members must submit claims within 90 days of the date of service. Claims submitted after 90 days will be denied due to failure to meet the timely filing requirements” — so confirm the network-dentist contractual window in your participation agreement
Published openly
No appeal level was extracted for this payer this pass — an extraction gap, not a statement that no appeal process exists.
Date of service plus the payer's filing window, in calendar days. Estimate only — the payer's contract wording controls.
Enter a date of service to compute the deadline.
Deadline = date of service + the filing window in calendar days; days left counts from your device's date today. This tool counts calendar days. Payer contracts may count differently — some windows run in months, from the end of the month of service, or from the date the payer received the claim — so treat the result as a planning estimate and confirm the payer's own contract wording. Windows outside 30–730 days are clamped, and a date of service more than a year ahead is rejected as a likely typo. Payer windows in the list carry the payer's published figure; the cited source appears on that payer's page.
