Dental credentialing services →Physicians Mutual says plainly that Ameritas is its claims processor. Dental claims go to Ameritas, P.O. Box 82520, Lincoln, NE 68501, under payer ID CX068, not to Physicians Mutual's general mailing address in Omaha, which is not for dental claims. Your standard dental claim form is accepted, or the Physicians Mutual PM 1000 form.
File under the primary insured's name and ID. Payments come through ECHO Health. For questions about a claim, call Ameritas at 877-667-6187; Physicians Mutual customer service is 800-228-9100.
Physicians Mutual dental plans let patients see any dentist, with the Ameritas network applying network fees for participating offices. Preauthorization is not required, but Physicians Mutual recommends a pretreatment estimate with Ameritas for larger work.
Physicians Mutual allows the office to bill the patient the balance above what the plan pays. Many of these are individual plans with set benefits and waiting periods, so verify the benefit schedule before treatment and collect the estimated patient portion at the visit. Our Ameritas claims reference covers Ameritas's own documentation rules.
