Arlington, Va. – Dominion National, a leading dental insurer and
administrator of dental and vision benefits headquartered in Arlington,
Va., announced that it is covering benefits for teledentistry in
response to COVID-19.
Benefits allowed include consultation for limited and problem-focused
evaluation and re-evaluation (CDT codes: D0140, D0170 and D0171).
Dominion will also allow benefits for a physician consultation (D9311)
via teledentistry.
Additionally, Dominion is waiving frequency limits and these evaluations
will not count toward a member’s annual frequency limitations until
further notice. This will be reviewed periodically and updated as
needed.
“An increasing number of states and dental practices are following the
American Dental Association’s recommendation and restricting dental
visits to emergency treatment. Teledentistry provides a great
alternative for patients to receive virtual consultations and Dominion
is in a position to accommodate our members and providers who can
leverage this innovative care delivery model,” said President Mike
Davis. “We wish everyone and their family good health and safety as we
collectively persevere through the coronavirus pandemic.”
