Limits are the ones GEHA publishes, as summarized on this page; the patient's own plan documents win if they differ. Corrected claims and appeals have their own deadlines (see below).

Dental credentialing services →GEHA says all medical and dental claims should go to EDI payer ID 39026. If your clearinghouse does not carry GEHA, GEHA offers a free Provider Clearinghouse that uses the same ID. Paper claims go to G.E.H.A Dental Claims, P.O. Box 21191, Eagan, MN 55121.
Ignore the old details still in search results. GEHA's 2023 claims page listed P.O. Box 21542 and EDI 44054. That page now redirects to the current one, which lists Box 21191 and payer ID 39026, but search snippets still show the old box and ID.
Use the dental ID for standalone dental plans. Standalone FEDVIP and Connection Dental Plus members have a separate dental ID, and those plans will not show in the provider portal under a medical ID.
Most GEHA dental patients are federal employees or retirees with FEDVIP coverage. Under FEDVIP, GEHA pays after the dental benefit of the patient's FEHB medical plan. If the medical plan's EOB is missing, GEHA says it may estimate what that plan would have paid, which can shrink the payment you expected. Send the primary EOB with the claim.
GEHA also moves claims between its own plans automatically, so a patient with both GEHA medical and GEHA dental does not need two separate submissions. Our guide to coordination of benefits covers the rules in general.
FEDVIP claims must be filed by December 31 of the year after the year of service, so a cleaning on March 3, 2026 can be filed until December 31, 2027. Use the calculator above for any date.
Connection Dental Plus, GEHA's discount-style dental plan, asks for claims within 90 days and accepts nothing after December 31 of the following year, according to its 2021 plan brochure. That brochure also lists a different claims box, so follow the current provider page for the address.
FEDVIP appeals are due within 6 months, by mail to G.E.H.A Post Service Appeal, P.O. Box 21324, Eagan, MN 55121, by fax to 866-963-0156, by email to gehadentalappeals@mygeha.com, or in the portal. GEHA decides them within 30 days. See our dental appeals guide.
GEHA dental uses the Connection Dental network, with DenteMax and Careington. The network decides the fee schedule; the claim still goes to GEHA. A pretreatment estimate is not required, but it is valid for the calendar year or 12 months, and GEHA asks for the procedure codes, fees and x-rays. For larger cases it is worth sending.
GEHA uses payer ID 39026 for all medical and dental claims. Its free Provider Clearinghouse uses the same ID.
