GEHA Connection Dental Network reaccredited

GEHA Connection Dental Network is proud to have earned full Dental Network Accreditation through URAC for another three years with a score of 100%. The designation demonstrates our dedication to high quality care and patient safety, and that we strive to continually improve our dental network services.

Estimated medical benefits available without EOB

If a claim is submitted without the explanation of benefits, or EOB, GEHA Connection Dental Network will provide an estimate based on the information on hand. This estimate may not be accurate without the FEHB three-digit enrollment code, particularly if the medical benefit pays a variable amount.

While our team is happy to provide an estimate with incomplete information so a claim is not held up, an EOB is necessary to receive the full benefit.
