Time Limitation Exception Form

Most dental procedures covered by our plans include a time limitation to allow benefit payment. For example, tooth surfaces treated with a direct restoration are generally covered once every two years.

Use this form only when requesting review of a dental procedure previously adjudicated as not billable to the patient due to a time limitation policy, and when extenuating clinical circumstances exist (i.e, this form is not to be used for standard claim submissions).

All claims remain subject to group filing requirements and will not be reviewed or reprocessed beyond a group’s filing period. Exceptions to our clinical criteria will also not be considered to allow benefit.

Additional payment with regard to contract time and frequency limitations will not be considered, and an approved exception may only change a claim adjudication from “not billable” to “patient responsibility” pending review.

Email completed Time Limitation Exception Forms to ClinicalReviewProcessing@DeltaDentalWA.com.
