To avoid delays due to submission errors on tax, we will process tax on paper and electronic claims for Federal Plan members only. If you elect to submit for this tax, please use the Z9020 tax code for all paper claims. Please remember to calculate the tax on your office charge and not your eligible charge. Enter this amount in box number 31 on the ADA 2006 claim form.
For all other non–federal plan HMSA dental members, you office will still be able to bill and collect the G.E.T. directly from your patient. When billing your patient for tax, the tax is based on the HMSA eligible and not your office charge. If your office submits for G.E.T. on a claim form, the patient's Explanation of Benefits will state that tax is not a benefit.
