With many patients using dental benefit
plans, the American Dental Association (ADA) Third Party Issue Tracker
provides an explanation of common third-party payer terms, information on
what you can do when encountering these situations, and what to do if a claim is
rejected by a dental plan.

The ADA Third Party Issue Tracker
covers the following dental benefits topics:
