How to check member benefits

Member benefits are customized, so it is important to use Change Healthcare’s Dental Connect to check each member’s specific benefits and eligibility before performing services.

Or, you can check member benefits by calling Dental Provider Services at 1-800-882-1178 during business hours.

Note: Due to customization, use of this tool does not guarantee coverage.

Use this tool to look up the procedure guidelines and submission requirements for all CDT codes.

You can refer to our Billing Guidelines & Resources for information about our policies and procedures.

Step : During Dental Connect outages, use the member’s ID card to determine the member’s product name and plan type. (Refer to our Change Healthcare Event page for outage updates.)
Step : Choose the member's plan using the information as it appears on the member's ID card.
Step : Type a CDT code (for example, D1206) in the search field for details about the code. To see results for all the codes in a range of services (for example, D0220-D0274) just type the first three characters in the series (for example, D02). Results will appear below.
