Additional Information
- Coverage dates always default to the current date. Adjust as needed, to provide full coverage for your patients. You cannot set a dependent’s coverage start date before the subscriber’s start date.
- Even if subscribers aren’t patients, you still need to add them to Dentrix Ascend; otherwise, you can’t assign their coverages to their dependents. Also, subscribers don’t have to be the dependents’ guarantor to provide insurance.
