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.

    Thank you all for the feedback! The ability to capture & document tertiary insurance is scheduled to be developed shortly.

    How can we still be gathering feedback when EVERYONE has requested this for YEARS!! This should be a #1 priority, top of the list, to be implemented. Come on Dentrix!! Implement the features we all want!

    UGH!! No thank you!! One is hard enough to deal with. I cannot imagine having to work with 3 for one claim.

    When is this expected? 1.5 years ago you said it is "Scheduled to be developed shortly".

    "Scheduled to be developed shortly" over a year ago... any update on this? Have multiple patients with complex insurance situations due to requiring medical to be billed, then dental, then spouse's dental!

    How has this not been implemented yet!? It has been asked for, for YEARS and is pertinent! Updating the family file and other nonsensical stuff ahead of this ridiculous. Come on Dentrix! LISTEN to the offices that are desperately requesting this be done and please do it!

    This would be very helpful. I had actually requested this over 10 years ago.

    This would be a GREAT addition. Right now submitting tertiary insurances is so time consuming because it all has to be done manually. It is very common for people to have three insurances.

    ANY updates???? This should be at the top of the list, not re-inventing the family file!

    There needs to be a way to be able to add a third insurance on file for patients. We have several patients with 3 insurances and we are only able to bill 2 and they end up switching offices because we are not able to bill for them. Please fix this issue!!

    i have dealt with all different kind of software including new and old ones. But Dentrix seems like a JOKE compared to most other software out there!!

    Please add the ability to input additional insurance plans, even if Dentrix doesn’t support electronic submission for them. This would allow offices to manually print and mail claims while still tracking them within the system. Currently, there’s no way to enter a 3rd, 4th, or 5th insurance policy, which creates challenges—especially for patients with complex coverage setups. For example, some federal plans require billing the medical policy first for dental-related benefits, followed by the dental plan, and possibly a third plan through a spouse. Without the ability to enter and manage multiple policies, it becomes difficult for offices to accurately bill and retain patients who rely on layered insurance coverage.

    Please also work on calculating the secondary insurance coverages into the Treatment Cases. Adding insurance is great, but if it doesn't calculate the coverages correctly, then it just creates another issue.

    This has been in development since 2021. When are we to expect the ability to create tertiary insurance on Dentrix?

    Please add this option to Dentrix! This would save so much time for the office staff!
