The easiest and simplest way to find out is to call them and ask the person in the office who handles the billing. They can tell you if they are a member of the insurance companies group, whether or not they do the filing of the claim for you and whether or not the demand payment up front before the insurance pays.

Some, but not all states may require a minimum level of malpractice insurance for a medical professional to renew and maintain their license. You would need to find out whether there is such a requirement in your state by contacting the state agency that licenses health professionals, or the state board of dentistry. Either one or both may maintain a record of insurance.

Is a Dentist in New York State required to have malpractice insurance?
There is no legal requirement in Oregon that says that dentists must have insurance but, as my source at the Oregon Board of Dentistry says, "it would be pretty unwise to not." I'm told that the Oregon Insurance Commission may help you find out whether or not a dentist is covered, and by which insurance company. Meanwhile, sometimes the dentist will tell you whether or not they're covered by malpractice insurance. If they don't, and there's a dispute, "then that's when you might have to get an attorney involved," says the source - or file in small claims court.
