New Resource: Delayed Claim Payment Letter Templates

Delayed dental claim payments can strain practice cash flow and create unnecessary administrative work. The WSDA Blog provides background on Washington prompt-payment standards, including 30- and 60-day timelines for many private/commercial claims.

Visit wsda.org/dentalbenefits to download letter templates to use in your office to communicate with insurance companies and/or their contractors regarding delayed claim payments or to address disputes about claim adjudication and resolution that exceed the insurer or regulatory standards.
