A Little Heads-Up from Our Office 😊

Delta Dental of Illinois recently completed a major overhaul of their entire system—including their website, eligibility portal, and payment processing. While they're working through the transition, there have been a few unexpected hiccups.

One of the biggest changes? Payments are currently being mailed directly to patients instead of our office. (We like surprises... just not this kind! 😉)

If you receive a check from Delta Dental for treatment completed at our office, please give us a call before depositing it. We'll be happy to guide you through the next steps and make the process as easy as possible.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and sense of humor while Delta Dental gets everything running smoothly again. We truly appreciate your cooperation!
