Dentrix Ideas

Add a third insurance (tertiary) for a patient.

Add the ability to set up a third (tertiary) insurance in the patient's Family File, and even a fourth (quaternary). This is increasingingly important because so many people are picking up Aflac's supplemental insurance. This is also needed for when a child's parents are divorced and have remarried, and both parents and/or step parents have insurance coverage for the children.

    Admin response

    Thank you all for the feedback! This feature is currently on our road map, but it is a bigger project than would appear to the casual eye. We’re already working on it, but our first opportunity to release it will be sometime next year. We hope you understand.

    This Idea has been on the platform for a very long time. It is unfortunate that most of the other dental software options cloud based or not have this available. Dentrix is one of the oldest and most used in dental offices. No wonder New Dental offices are electing to use cloud based platform.


    This request should have been completed at least 2 to 3 years ago.

    With children remaining covered on their parents dental plans through age 26 now, I am finding that many patients now have three and sometimes four insurances..can you please update Dentrix so that we made add the additional plans..

    We are contractually required to bill all insurances if we are in network. Dentrix is failing it's clients by not providing an easy means of creating and tracking tertiary claims. There is no excuse for this not being in development, it has been highly requested for over 4 years. Other software makes billing tertiary easy, I know Dentrix can do this too.

    Our office would benefit from this update, we have several patients with three insurance carriers.

    If you participate with that tertiary plan, you MUST submit on behalf of the patient as most contracts state. This would actually be a good feature.

    NO! that just makes extra work. Quote them on two and give them the info to do it themselves. SHESH

    The ability to add and track a tertiary and quaternary insurance is NECESSARY. Can we please get an update of the software with this addition?? and a realistic if not actual timeframe for implementation?? It would make billing so much easier. Thank you for your effort.

    Can you please update? I worked with Open Dental for 7 years and they have had this feature for 10+ yrs. How is Dentrix so far behind??? I'm about to recommend we convert to Open Dental at this point since they are ahead in almost EVERY way.

    OK. So you posted on June 17, 2021 that you were planning to implement the ability to track tiertary and quarternary insurance. You said it will be sometime "next year." Well it is "next year." In fact, it's September and "next year" is almost gone. What is the update on this?

    There is no ability for Tertiary or Quaternary insurance providers. This needs to be setup.

    THIS HAS REALLY BECOME NECESSARY! MANY OF OUR PATIENTS ARE COVERED BY 3 DENTAL INSURANCE COMPANYS.

    We had dentrix for almost 20 yrs now and i actually requested this long time ago. We're still using G5 coz some of the feature is not really necessary and the feature we need at this time is to add the third and fourth insurance. We do not have any other problem so only the insurance.

    So in 2 years you still can't come up with the ability to add a 3rd insurance? How long could this possibly take? We have so many patients with 3 and 4 insurances and hand billing is time consuming. Can we get an update on this please?

    The admin response is from 2019 when is this going to be implemented??? I have so may patients with tertiary insurance and even have some with a quaternary! This is one of Dentrix's main flaws!

    We are only billing 2 insurances, since that is all that is available. It does take forever to get paid by 2ndary insurances, i can only imagine how long a 3rd and 4th one would take to pay. If the patient has more than 2 insurances we give them a printed claim or ledger printout to submit to their 3rd or 4th dental insurance or Aflac for reimbursement sent directly to them
