Can a dental organization submit claims to insurance LATER?
I went to my dentist yeaterday. I supposed to have dental insurance trough my wife's work (actually we rewarded for it), and HR ar her work told her that the insurance will kick in Nov 01/2007. Yes, but when I go to the office they checked with the insurance company and said to me that within is no insurance under our name. When my wife double checked next to Human Resources they told her that the insurance actually will kick within Dec 01/2007 (one month later). I didn't pay the bill. The dentist said to me to clarify the problem and call them bak. I am going to ring the office tomorrow. Is it possible for them to claim the work they did after Dec 01/2007 or I have to foot cash AGAIN. It is so painful paying bread and insurance at the same time, isn't it?

One word: ILLEGAL!!
If they do that it is considered insurance fraud and it is highly risky. We would never do that in my office. Source(s): registered dental assistant for over 10 yrs.
No...that would be insurance fraud. You can loose your insurance for that.
They can pretend that you got the work done on Dec. 7 instead of Nov. 7, but its technically insurance fraud. however, if they are feeling like to do it, let them do it.
