Pre-Treatment Estimates
Important: Currently pre-treatment estimates are available only for MetLife patients.

Submitting online pre-treatment estimates is a great way to increase patient satisfaction and increase production. It helps the patient make informed treatment decisions and schedule an appointment for additional services while is still in the office. Plus, online pre-treatment estimates speed reimbursement by ensuring that your claims are error-free. With a few mouse clicks, your pre-treatment estimate can be turned into a claim once the services are rendered.

You create an online pre-treatment estimate the same way that you create a single claim. When the blank claim form is displayed, select Pre-Treatment Estimate under Claim Information and complete the form the same way you would complete a claim form. All of the fields required for a claim form are required for a pre-treatment estimate except the date fields for each proposed procedure.

To check the status of your pre-treatment estimate once you have submitted it,

1. Click Claims Search.
2. Under Extended Search, select Pre-Treatment Estimates as the information type and click Submit.

Note: When reading other help topics, in most instances "pre-treatment estimate" can be substituted for "claim" or "claim form."
