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 latest version of the dental claim form enables reporting of a National Provider Identifier (NPI), in addition to a current proprietary provider identifier, for both the Billing Dentist/Dental Entity and for the Treating Dentist. This version of the form becomes valid for use on January 1, 2007. For more information see A-Z Topic: Dental Claim Form.
