What You Can Fax to Dentology

  • The treatment plan and current medications
  • Predetermination and prior-authorization requests
  • New-patient records requested from a prior dentist
  • Periodontal charting and clinical narratives
  • A prescription or pharmacy-authorization request
Tip: Put the patient's full name and date of birth, and the subscriber ID on a claim, on every page so Dentology can match a document that gets separated. Address the cover sheet to the front-desk or records staff, note which document it is, and include a callback number. Verify fax is still the accepted channel, send multi-page documents as one PDF, and keep the transmission receipt for your records.

The claims path at Dentology

Dental payers routinely ask Dentology for attachments — bitewings, a panoramic image, perio probing depths — before approving a claim. Because the payer matches by member ID, that identifier belongs on the cover sheet alongside the claim number. Keep the transmission confirmation in case the plan asks whether the attachment arrived.

Predeterminations and narratives at Dentology

Dentology regularly sends a predetermination of benefits with the imaging that shows why a crown, a filling, or perio treatment is needed. A predetermination pairs the proposed treatment with the radiographs and charting that justify it. Send the full packet at once so review is not waiting on a second fax.

HIPAA and your fax to Dentology

Faxing records to Dentology is allowed, but the service you use has to protect the PHI. Under HIPAA, the transport for protected health information should be secure rather than a public or ad-supported one. For PHI, Send FAX Mail's HIPAA-eligible Professional plan ($39.99/month) supports a signed BAA and encrypts every page to Dentology in transit; a 7-day free trial lets you start.

Faxing to Dentology — FAQ

A records release, a set of X-rays, and a predetermination request are the documents most often sent. Imaging — bitewings, a panoramic film, or a CBCT — frequently travels with a referral. Keep the confirmation, since an appointment or a claim can turn on the timing. When in doubt, ask Dentology what it needs before you send anything.

Include the identifiers staff use to match a chart: the patient's name, date of birth, and the member ID on a claim. Note the document type and the patient's name on the cover sheet. With the name, date of birth, and destination clear, nothing gets misdirected. The identifiers matter as much as the document itself.

Dentology can receive a fax at any hour, but the office works the paperwork during business hours. Routine records and referrals are worked on the office's weekday schedule. Routine paperwork follows the normal queue rather than jumping ahead. Expect same-day attention only for the documents the team is waiting on.

The X-rays and charting Dentology keeps are PHI, not ordinary paperwork. Releasing them to another party runs on a signed HIPAA authorization from the patient. Even though it is your own record, a secure channel keeps it out of the wrong hands.

Most general offices, including Dentology, submit claim attachments on your behalf. Confirm whether Dentology sends attachments by fax or through a clearinghouse like DentalXChange. Label the images with the patient's name and date of birth. Put the patient's name and date of birth on every page so it is matched cleanly. Doing it that way avoids the most common cause of a delay.
