Q: Is my dentist in United Concordia’s network?A: To search for your dentist, visit UnitedConcordia.com. Click on Find a Dentist and then select your network (see

the enclosed benefits summary) and search preferences.

Q: Why should I visit a network dentist?A: You can save time and money by using a network dentist. Our network dentists agree to file claims for you, and

to accept our allowances as full payment for covered services. And, most of our dentists accept our allowances

for non-covered services or services above your annual maximum. That means you can save money by visiting

a network dentist, because our allowances are typically lower than the dentist’s standard charges. United

Concordia’s network dentists undergo rigorous review, so you can be sure you’re receiving quality care.

Q: Can I still see a non-network dentist?A: Yes, you can receive care from any licensed dentist. However, if you visit a non-network dentist your benefits may

differ and your out-of-pocket expenses could be higher than if you visit a network dentist. If your dentist is not a

part of our network, you can nominate him or her for participation. To nominate your dentist, visit the Members

section of UnitedConcordia.com, select Forms, and click Nominate Your Dentist.

Q: What can my dentist bill me for?A: It depends whether you visit a network or non-network dentist. United Concordia network dentists can only

charge you for applicable deductibles and coinsurance amounts. Non-network dentists can charge you for

applicable deductibles and coinsurance amounts, and the difference between their standard charges and United

Concordia’s allowances.

Q: What information is available online?A: In the Members section of UnitedConcordia.com, you can access forms, frequently asked questions, a glossary

of dental terms, and a dental health center containing articles, brochures, videos and kids’ pages. Once your

plan is effective, you can find your personal benefits information in our online tool, My Dental Benefits. After

registering, you can review details of your coverage, eligibility, network, claim status and procedure history; and

print an ID card.

Q: What if I have other questions about my dental plan?A: Questions about dental treatment should always be discussed with your dentist. For information about your

benefits, visit UnitedConcordia.com or call Customer Service at 1-800-332-0366.

Frequently Asked Questions About Your PPO Dental Plan

You’re at the dentist and you’ve been told the tooth that’s been bothering you will need some extensive dental work. How much will it cost? How much will your dental plan cover? Are there any alternative treatment options available?

Get the answers to these questions, and more, by submitting a predetermination before you receive treatment.

What is a predetermination?

A predetermination lets you know what procedures will or won’t be covered prior to receiving services. It calculates the total amount you owe and what your plan will cover based on your coinsurance amounts. It also notifies you of alternate treatment options covered by your dental plan. A predetermination is not a guarantee of payment—it is an estimate of what you can expect to owe.

How should I submit a predetermination?

Your dentist can submit predeterminations electronically or by mail. Electronically submitted predeterminations are processed instantly, unless additional supporting documentation is required. Mailed predeterminations are typically processed within 14–30 days. The results are then summarized and mailed to both you and your dentist.

How does it work?

We use predetermination of benefits to confirm member eligibility and to review the treatment plan to determine the extent of coverage. This process lets both you and the provider know that the service being performed is covered. It also informs you of your financial liability at the time the predetermination is processed.

In cases where alternate methods of treatment are available, we approve and/or make payment based on our allowance for the less expensive procedure, provided it meets accepted standards of dental treatment. We base your financial liability on information that is current when we process the predetermination. However, your financial liability may change when services are rendered as a result of meeting the deductible or exhausting the maximum.

When should I ask for a predetermination?

We encourage you to request a predetermination whenever the amount of a proposed treatment is more than $500.

United Concordia’s large, nationwide dentist network, combined with our knowledge of local markets, means you can find affordable, quality care with great service no matter where you live.

What Is a Network Dentist?

Network dentists agree to accept United Concordia’s discounted fees as payment in full for covered services. Non-network dentists can charge you more. This means you’ll lower your out-of-pocket expense using a network dentist.

You can still receive care from any licensed dentist. But your benefits may differ and your out-of-pocket costs could be higher with a non-network dentist. Using a network dentist maximizes your dental benefits because they:

Save money—A network dentist saves you the difference between our negotiated fees and the dentist’s regular charges. And, you stretch your benefit dollars by getting more services before reaching your annual maximum.
