    Status:
    Answered
    ID# *********** for the account.My daughter's orthodontist has been trying to get payment for services from Delta Dental of Illinois since 12/05/2022. There was no lapse in coverage and she was covered for $2000 in orthodontic benefits. The orthodontist has submitted multiple claims to the provider to get payment. Forms were submitted on 12/05/2023, 05/31/2023, 11/09/2023, 12/13/2023, and 03/05/2024. Multiple calls have been made to the company in addition to that by both the office and myself. I started calling after the office informed me that the claims were still not being paid. We have been getting a non-stop run around. The first few times I called I was told that the birthday and ID # being submitted we incorrect. I confirmed with the office and also was shown the claim paperwork that contained the correct information. I called Delta on 01/09/2024, 01/24/2024, 02/22/2023, 02/27/2024, 03/01/24 and 04/29/2024. Each time I am told that there is no claim but when I mention the above previous dates...the history for the claim is magically found. On 03/05/24 it was confirmed by *********************** that she got the claim and it was submitted for review on 03/07/2024. I called today and was told that it "may be in the process of being processed and that's why it's not showing on claims". Originally we were told it was a 30 day turn around but today I was told that they are reviewed in order and can take longer then 30 days.I also filled a grievance against the company via their grievance form on the website and have not had any contact.

    This is a terrible company, terrible service. It is not worth the monthly payment. They are very deceiving; they make it so hard trying to make you give up calling them or claiming anything. Please avoid this vendor. Someone should investigate how legit they are.

    Delta Dental of Illinois Response

    05/30/2024

    May 30, 2024 Customer Relations Advocate ********************** of ****************** Illinois, ********************************************************************** ***** Re: BBB Complaint Review ID ****** Dear Sir or Madam,On behalf of Delta Dental of Illinois, this letter serves as the response to the review submitted by a Delta Dental of Illinois member regarding their recent experience with our claims process. We first want to state that the members experience does not meet our standards. The first time the member called they were told that no claim was on file for their date of service on January 11, 2024. Two subsequent calls to customer service were made by the member and were followed by the same result. The member was advised to email the claim directly to our Customer Experience Representative (CER) for processing, however, the claim submitted was found to have an error with the subscribers date of birth, and as a result, it was not processed. The Customer Experience Representative had not documented the error that needed correction. The member was not made aware of the correction needed until they called again to inquire about their claim. The member was informed that after correcting this error, the claim could be resubmitted. Upon review, the claim was processed, and payment was sent to the member on May 29, 2024. During this period, the member called and was informed that the claim was in process. We apologize for the repeated calls to our *************************** and the delays in claims processing. We have addressed and coached the Customer Experience Representatives involved. Please know this is not the customer experience we desire and thank the member for their patience. We believe the above information responds to this complaint and concludes our handling of this matter. Should your agency need additional information, please contact **************************************
