3 Things Every Dental Biller Should Know About the Insurance Commissioner

Dental insurance companies often deny necessary treatment claims not because they should, but because they can—and we explore how to fight back effectively through appeals and regulatory complaints.

• 59% of denied claims are upheld simply because no appeal is ever filed
• Unreasonable denials occur when patients have benefits but claims are still denied
• State insurance commissioners can investigate denials and prompt payment violations
• Understanding the difference between fully-insured and self-funded (ERISA) plans
• For self-funded plans, complaints must go to the Department of Labor (866-444-3272)
• Gather evidence including denials, submission reports, and clinical notes
• Position your complaint as patient advocacy rather than financial recovery
• Insurance companies cannot dictate treatment or force doctors to work for free

Remember: You're not just a biller—you are the patient advocate and the system of checks and balances they didn't see coming.
