Submit a Claim

If you visit a Delta Dental of Illinois network dentist or assign benefits, you won’t have to submit any paperwork – your dentist will submit a claim directly to Delta Dental of Illinois on your behalf after your dental appointment.

On the other hand, if you visit an out-of-network dentist, you may have to submit your own dental claim to Delta Dental of Illinois. Members who receive dental insurance through their employer group, can use this claim form and members who purchase their own dental plan can use this claim form. For claims outside of the United States, please use these instructions and this international claim form.

After your claim is received, Delta Dental of Illinois will review the paperwork to verify if:

• you are eligible for coverage;
• the services you received are covered by your dental plan;
• your dentist is in-network or out-of-network; and
• all necessary documentation is included to process the claim (e.g., X-rays).

Once the claim is reviewed, Delta Dental of Illinois will notify you or your dentist if further information is needed. If not, claims are typically processed within three business days, depending on your specific dental plan. After the claim is processed, Delta Dental Illinois will pay in-network dentists directly. If you submitted the claim, you will be reimbursed and will pay your dentist.
