Securian Dental: Electronic Claims

Electronic Claims

Faster Claims Processing - Electronically
Securian Dental would like to be your partner in making the claims submission process easier and more efficient. By utilizing electronic claims submission, we can establish a two-way exchange of information. This will help us achieve our ultimate goal of processing claims correctly and in a timely manner.

To get started with electronic claims processing, contact your software vendor or practice management vendor for more information. You may also call our Customer Service Center at 1-800-234-9009 and request a paper copy.

Here are some tips for submitting electronic claims to ensure they are processed accurately and efficiently:

1. Submit the correct Social Security Number (SSN)/Identification (ID) number and the subscriber's date of birth. Securian Dental uses this information to ensure the claim is processed under the correct member.

2. If you have questions regarding errors or to request an Electronic Claims Submission guide, contact Securian Dental's Customer Service Center. Review your response reports forwarded by your clearinghouse to determine if there are any errors on claims.

3. Secondary Coordination of Benefits (COB) claims should include the primary paid amount on the electronically submitted claim. If this amount is not listed on the claim, you will receive a follow-up letter requesting this information, which will in turn delay processing.
