## Direct answer
For Delta Dental insurance verification, do not assume plan rules from the carrier name alone. Verify the exact patient plan for the planned date of service, then document active eligibility, benefits remaining, deductible, category coverage, procedure-specific limits, documentation requirements, source evidence, and the estimate caveat.

## Capture before estimating
Patient plan, date of service, eligibility source, benefits remaining, deductible, category coverage, procedure limits, documentation requirements, evidence, and caveat.

## Checklist
- Confirm the patient, subscriber, group, member ID, and planned date of service before relying on any carrier response.
- Capture remaining maximum, deductible, category coverage, waiting periods, frequency limits, and replacement intervals when relevant.
- Record documentation, predetermination, or attachment requirements for the planned procedure.
- Save the portal, clearinghouse, or call evidence and keep the estimate caveat visible.
