## Direct answer
A new patient dental insurance verification form should collect the current card, patient and subscriber identifiers, relationship to subscriber, employer or group, planned date of service, active status, plan year, benefits remaining, deductible, category coverage, procedure limits, COB flags, evidence source, and estimate caveat before the first treatment estimate.

## Capture before estimating
Current insurance card, subscriber relationship, employer or group, member and group IDs, planned date, active status, benefits money, procedure limits, COB flags, evidence source, and caveat.

## Checklist
- Ask whether coverage, employer, subscriber, or plan details changed since scheduling.
- Verify the patient against the planned date of service, not only the appointment creation date.
- Capture benefits money and procedure limits before a same-day treatment estimate is discussed.
- Check whether another plan exists and whether COB order must be verified before quoting.
