## Direct answer
A dental insurance verification exception log should track incomplete, conflicting, stale, or missing payer evidence. Record the unresolved field, source conflict, owner, next action, deadline, patient-estimate risk, and whether the estimate should be held, updated, or presented with a stronger caveat.

## Capture before estimating
Unresolved field, source conflict, stale verification date, owner, next action, deadline, patient-estimate risk, and hold-or-caveat decision.

## Checklist
- Create an exception when maximum, deductible, procedure limits, COB, documentation, call reference, or source evidence is missing.
- Assign an owner and deadline so incomplete verification does not silently become an estimate.
- Mark whether the patient estimate should be held, rechecked, or presented only with extra caveat language.
- Close the exception only after source evidence or reviewer judgment is added to the worksheet.
