Covered Connecticut Dental Plan Appeals Process
Request for Goods or Services
Some dental services need to be approved before Covered CT will pay for them. This is called prior authorization (PA). Your dentist must be part of the Covered CT Plan which is part of the Connecticut Dental Health Partnership (CTDHP) in order to ask for PA for you or your children. The person getting the service for which the dentist is asking for PA must be eligible for Covered CT when the dentist makes the PA request and when the service is provided.
Review of PA Request
Once your dentist asks for PA, a Covered CT dentist reviews it. The CCT Program will send a notice to your dentist telling him or her that the PA was approved or denied. If the requested good or service is not covered or is not medically necessary, the CCT will deny the request for PA. The notice will tell your dentist why the PA was denied. It will also tell your dentist how to appeal the denial.
Denial Notice
If a service your dentist requested for you is denied, the CCT will send you a Denial Notice. The letter will tell you why the service was denied. It will also tell you about your right to appeal.
Appeal
You have 60 days to file an appeal. The appeal will be forwarded to a dental consultant. If the denial was based on a determination of medical necessity, a consultant who was not involved in the original determination will perform the review. You may request an opportunity to meet with the Dental consultant or to submit additional written documentation. If you do not request to meet, the appeal decision will be based on the written documentation available to the CCT at the time of the appeal.
Appeal Decision
Appeal decisions are made within 30 days of receipt of the appeal request from the member. A written appeal decision will be mailed to the member and a copy will be sent to the Department of Social Services as well. A copy of the appeal decision will be filed along with original member appeal request.
External Appeal
You may file an external appeal with the Connecticut Department of Insurance if you are dissatisfied with the result of the CTDHP appeal decision. The CCT will be bound by the Connecticut Department of Insurance appeal decision. The address to file an external appeal is:
Connecticut Insurance Dept. – Telephone: 860-297-3910
