Insurance Benefit Information
Open Dental offers highly customizable insurance benefits to accurately calculate procedure estimates and insurance remaining estimates.
In an Insurance Plan, at the lower right, is the Benefit Information.
This area gives an overview of the benefits already entered for an insurance plan. Default percentages can be set for Insurance Categories, so you're not starting from scratch.
The Edit Benefits window is where you can enter benefit information for annual max, deductible, coverage percentages, age limits, frequency limits, and more.
Use the Code Groups feature to create custom groups of procedures to use with benefits in addition to standardized Insurance Categories.
For unique insurance benefits, you can use the Other Benefits feature.
Custom benefits can be added for things like patient-specific overrides, code-specific coverage, no annual max for a category, and more.
