Credentialing & Data Change Processing Delays
We are temporarily experiencing delays in processing credentialing and data change requests while we implement online improvements. We appreciate your patience during this transition.
Please note:
- All submissions have been received and will be processed in the order they were submitted.
- Processing times are temporarily delayed, but effective dates will be backdated to your original submission date.
- To avoid resubmitting, please hold any Delta Dental claims related to your submitted request until you receive confirmation from us.

Tips for a Smooth Submission:
- A complete electronic signature is required.
- Use Google Chrome for the best experience.
- Have all required documents ready to upload.
- Forms must be completed and submitted in one session (they cannot be saved).
- Review each page carefully before selecting “Next”—you won’t be able to go back.
- Ensure your CAQH profile is attested within the last 90 days before submitting any initial or recredentialing applications.

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.
