ADA Dental Claim Form

The ADA Dental Claim Form provides a common format for reporting dental services to a patient's dental benefit plan. ADA policy promotes use and acceptance of the most current version of the ADA Dental Claim Form by dentists and payers.

The following materials are prepared by ADA Practice Institute staff with contributions from the ADA Council on Dental Benefit Programs and other internal and external knowledge experts.

The 2024 version provides new spaces for reporting data that can expedite timely and accurate claim reimbursement. It is now possible to clearly identify claims for services delivered by a “locum tenens” dentist, one who is standing in for another who is away from the practice for a short time. The form also supports reporting an identifier, known as Payer ID, that when available uniquely identifies the third-party payer receiving the claim.

The ADA Dental Claim Form serves as a standardized format for reporting dental services to patient benefit plans. The 2024 ADA Dental Claim Form video explains why the 2024 version is essential, addressing topics such as "locum tenens" dentists, last scaling and root planing dates, and payer ID fields. Discover how these changes will benefit your practice and improve claim adjudication and reimbursement processes. Stay informed and ensure a smooth transition by watching this video.
