The prior-authorization path at Delta Dental of California

Delta Dental of California routes an authorization request to the pre-treatment estimate team, separate from routine claims. The team reviews the request against the member's benefits before it decides. Send well ahead of the service date, since a misrouted PA only delays the decision.

Faxing to Delta Dental of California — FAQ

A number copied from a search result may be stale; Delta Dental of California has the current one. Ask member services whether the team you need takes fax and what its current number is. Confirming the line first is a two-minute step that prevents a misrouted document. That confirmation is the difference between a delivered document and a lost one.

Some teams at Delta Dental of California take fax; others have moved to an online portal. Where the document carries PHI, a secure portal upload is often the faster and safer route. So confirm the department still accepts fax before you send, and use the portal when that is what it asks for. Guessing the channel is the usual reason a document has to be resent.

No. Delta Dental of California routes faxes to separate department lines, so the dental and vision claims department and the appeals team do not share a number. What you send to claims will not reach the appeals team. Confirm the correct line for the department you are reaching, and check it still accepts fax. When in doubt, ask Delta Dental of California for the department by name.

Include the identifiers staff use to match a document: your member ID and the relevant reference number. On the cover sheet, name the dental and vision claims department or the receiving desk so it lands with the right team. That keeps the pages matched to the right file at Delta Dental of California. Clear labeling is what keeps a multi-page document together at Delta Dental of California.

Send the predetermination request to the pre-treatment team at Delta Dental of California. Attach the clinical narrative so the estimate can be worked. Verify the team still accepts fax rather than a portal upload. Confirm the current fax with Delta Dental of California before you send.
