Are there any dental services that require pre-authorization?
Yes. All crown, bridge, prosthetics, osseous surgery or root canal services require pre-authorization. A DDS dentist will automatically obtain pre-authorization for you. To obtain pre-authorization for services provided by a non-DDS dentist, have your dentist list the required dental work and fees on a Dental Benefit Request Form. All relevant x-rays must be attached to this form. Sign the form, and send it to DDS, Inc., located at 1640 Hempstead Turnpike, East Meadow, NY 11554. DDS will then review the case, notify the dentist of the total amount that the Plan will pay for the dental work and the portion that the patient will be responsible for. X-rays will be returned to the dentist.
