Delta Dental of South Dakota as Medicaid Dental Vendor
The Adult Dental Cap and the $2,000 Benefit Year Trap
Medicaid Expansion, Tribal Populations, and IHS Coordination
HIPAA and South Dakota’s Data Breach Notification Law
Most billing companies are either fully manual or fully automated. TransDontics combines both. RPA handles eligibility, claim scrubbing, and payment posting while specialists handle Medicaid predetermination submissions, annual cap tracking, Delta Dental reconsideration appeals, and routing decisions across adult, children's, and expansion coverage.
Every payment is reconciled against your contracted rate, line by line, across every payer. When Delta Dental of South Dakota, Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, Avera Health Plans, or any commercial carrier pays below the agreed fee on specific plan types, we flag it and file the appeal within 14 days. Most practices only catch outright denials — that’s where their process stops. We go further, catching underpayments that never generate a denial code but quietly erode your monthly net collections.
Before every South Dakota Medicaid adult claim goes out, we verify the patient’s remaining benefit year balance with Delta Dental of South Dakota’s portal. Because the cap is calculated on a first-received basis; not on date of service. Our 48-hour claim processing cycle prevents that problem from occurring. When a patient is approaching the $2,000 annual limit on complex restorative work, we flag it proactively so the practice can manage patient communication.
Claims processed within 48 hours of receipt. No setup fee, no monthly minimum, no long-term contract, and no costs buried in the fine print. Our fee is a nominal percentage of what we successfully collect from payers on your behalf; nothing more. We only earn when you get paid, which means our incentives are fully aligned with yours from day one. The more we recover for your practice, the better we both do.
