Enroll in Direct Deposit, and Delta Dental will send claim payments electronically to your designated bank account—payment often can be in your bank account in as little as 48 hours. Direct Deposit is a free service only available to participating dentists.
To enroll, log onto Dental Office Toolkit and simply follow the Direct Deposit link. (If you're not currently a Dental Office Toolkit user, just complete a short registration to set up your account.) Direct Deposit account activation will typically take 7 days from registration.
Direct Deposit is:
SAFE
Electronic payments are not subject to the same risks of loss, theft, or delay as paper checks, and the electronic transfer process greatly reduces the number of
people who have access to your private information.
FAST
Payments go directly to your account, eliminating time spent for printing and mailing. You don't have to go to
the bank or wait for checks to clear—funds are available immediately.
FLEXIBLE
Paper and electronic claims are both paid by Direct Deposit. Enrollment includes claims submitted to Delta
Dental of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Delta Federal Services (TRICARE).
GREEN
Predeterminations, Explanation of Benefits (EOBs), and Information Requests are available electronically on the Dental Office Toolkit, instead of waiting to receive them by mail. You will have instant access to your payment history, and you can store EOBs electronically.
SECURE
Direct Deposit transfers are routed through approved banking channels in highly protected formats. The
Dental Office Toolkit meets or exceeds privacy and security standards.
