No, your dentists office is not legally required to verify your dental insurance. Your insurance company has a contract between you and them, it's not a contract including your dental provider. This is assuming we are not speaking of HMO insurance or PPO insurances. If you are given a list of dentists that you can go to based on a fee schedule then that dentist has agreed to accept a certain discounted price or not to exceed a certain cost, if this is the case then they are obligated to verify when your insurance is effective and when and if it has been cancelled. As a matter of fact, Your dental provider is only doing their patients a favor of submitting a claim for patients within the practice but they do not even legally have to do that. ( once again when referring to NON HMO insurance )
