Why do I need a dental or health savings plan?
You need these plans to help you save money on health-related expenses. Using our plans you can get access to quality services and providers, sometimes at a fraction of the cost. Keep
in mind that just because you are getting a discount does not mean you are getting lesser service or quality. Everything remains the same-except a higher price tag. It's like getting
the same price the insurance companies have been getting all along.
|
|
Is your plan a health insurance
plan?
No. These plans provide discounts and savings for health care expenses such as dental, vision, hearing, chiropractic, and prescription drugs charges through participating providers. |
|
What else will I receive with my membership card?
You will receive a complete package in the mail detailing how you can use your Benefits program, as well as a personalized provider list. |
|
What if I'm not satisfied with the plan coverage?
If you are not satisfied with your dental plan, you may cancel the Careington coverage at any time within the first 45 days or your UNI-CARE plan within the fist 60 days and receive your money back for membership. |
|
How
do I renew my dental plan?
If you purchase a monthly dental plan, your plan will be
automatically renewed until you choose to cancel. If you
purchase an annual dental plan, the plan will also be renewed
automatically. You will receive a renewal notice (approximately
30-60 days in advance) by U.S. Mail. If you choose not to
renew your plan, simply call the toll free number included with the
notice or visit our insurance company
directory for contact information. |
|
Can I use your discount plans to supplement my insurance benefits?
If your insurance does not cover the services our plan covers, yes, you may use it to provide discounts on services not covered. However, you may not use this plan with any other
discounts you might receive. (For instance, in the event you have a set co-pay, you cannot use this plan to provide a discount in addition to the co-pay.) It is still important to note
that our dental/vision plans are NOT AN INSURANCE PLAN, nor is it intended to replace ANY INSURANCE you currently have. |
|
What kind of discounts will I get?
In most cases, you will pay a pre-negotiated fee for services rendered. In other cases, you will receive a discount on items, such as contact lenses or eyeglasses.
