Electronic Claims and Electronic Attachments
Q. Does Delta Dental of South Dakota accept electronic claims?
A. Yes, Delta Dental of South Dakota accepts electronic claims through Emdeon and EDI Healthcare.
Q. What if I use a clearinghouse other than those accepted by DDSD?
A. Some clearinghouses forward claims to other clearinghouses, and some don't. If they don't forward electronically, the clearinghouse you use will forward us a paper claim for processing. We plan to accept electronic claims from all clearinghouses in the very near future.
Q. Does Delta Dental of South Dakota accept electronic attachments?
A. Yes, Delta Dental of South Dakota accepts electronic attachments through National Electronic Attachments (NEA) and National Information Systems (NIS). Please note the attachment must be sent with an electronic claim. If you receive a "Request for Additional Information" from DDSD, you may submit an electronic attachment without a claim, if you submit the claim number with the attachment. Please do not send an electronic attachment without a claim, or without reference to a Delta Dental claim number, otherwise we will not be able to match the attachment with the claim.
