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.

## Direct answer

Sun Life publishes claims addresses and a dispute channel but no filing windows. Its provider FAQ sends PPO dentists to The Dentist Guide at Dental Health Alliance (DHA, “a member of the Sun Life group of companies”), which is gated behind the DHA dentist login. Provider dispute / grievance: No filing window is published for provider disputes — only the channel. Provider contracts and plan documents override published manuals — the contract number controls.

## Filing windows

- **Initial claims:** No public number — Sun Life publishes claims addresses and a dispute channel but no filing windows. Its provider FAQ sends PPO dentists to The Dentist Guide at Dental Health Alliance (DHA, “a member of the Sun Life group of companies”), which is gated behind the DHA dentist login.

## Appeals

- **Provider dispute / grievance:** No public number — No filing window is published for provider disputes — only the channel.
  - Route: Sun Life / Grievance Department, PO Box 419596, Kansas City, MO 64179-0155; fax 563-242-0184; SLFGRIEV@sunlife.com.

## Verified caveats

- Claims routing is plan-split — a single-address statement would be wrong: payor ID 70408; Sun Life, PO Box 311, Milwaukee, WI 53201-0311 for most members, with separate boxes for Florida group #A896 and New York members.
- providers.dentaquest.com is branded the “Sun Life DentaQuest provider portal” (login-only). That shared portal does not put Sun Life commercial plans under DentaQuest's government-program manuals — commercial PPO operating rules live in the gated DHA Dentist Guide.
