In short
- These sources show no dental outside review, unlike health plans.
- TDI's path: talk to the firm, file a complaint, then weigh legal help.
- TDI can't force a company to pay, unless skipping it breaks the law.
What this means
For dental, these sources name no state outside reviewer [1]. Use TDI's general complaint process instead [1].
Your next step
File the TDI complaint. The company then has 15 days to respond to TDI, with a possible 10-day extension [1].
