Q: Is Dentex an insurance program?
A: NO. We do not sell or offer insurance of any kind. The Dentex plan was developed to provide significant dental, health and medical service savings benefits to its members. These savings would not be possible if our plan was structured as an insurance product.

Q: How much can I expect to receive in savings benefits?
A: There are many factors involved in determining the percentage of saving benefits you will receive. These factors generally include which provider you select, whether a provider is a medical specialist, the nature of services or type of prescription drugs received by you, your geographic location and the type of facility where you received services. For a better understanding, please click on Actual Examples of Savings benefits so you can review your specific area of interest.

Q: How much are co-payments?
A: Because the Dentex plan was created NOT to be an insurance program, there are absolutely no co-payments. You will receive the savings benefits from your medical provider at the same time service is provided to you!
^ Back to top
Q: How does the plan work?
A: It's very simple. The member simply presents their Dentex membership card at the time of payment to receive the reduced price and savings. Pre-scheduling is required for Hospital stays.

Q: I have called a few doctors you have listed on your web page and they said they had never heard of Dentex. Why don't they know who you are?
A: Dentex is a new and innovative approach for access to affordable healthcare. With over 700,000 providers nationwide it should be expected that many providers will not be familiar with our name just yet. However, the providers listed on our web page DO have agreements with the PPO networks providing services to members. Your Identification Cards, which include the appropriate PPO network names, will have the necessary information for the provider to process your savings benefits.

Q: How do I know which providers will honor the Dentex card?
A: When you enroll, you will receive an enrollment packet that includes a list of the healthcare providers in your area who participate in the plan. You can also access this list by clicking on Provider Locator at this website or by contacting Member Services on the toll-free number provided in your enrollment packet.

Q: Can I use these benefits if I have insurance?

^ Back to top
Q: I already have insurance. How does the Dentex plan work with my insurance?
A: There are many types of insurance coverage and it is not possible for us to offer advice
how our plan works with all of these various types of insurance coverage. The Dentex plan does provide
a reduced price for the service you receive from a provider. The cost for the services rendered
to you is repriced BEFORE any insurance benefit is applied to the cost. The Dentex plan may reduce
the out-of-pocket expense that you are required to pay and is not paid by your insurance
coverage. For example, if you have a high deductible with your insurance coverage, the plan
may reduce your out-of-pocket expenses not reimbursed by your insurance coverage. Of course,
for those services or products not covered by your insurance but included in the plan, you will
receive savings benefits.

Q: What if I'm traveling or moving and need to use the plan?
A: That's not a problem. Click on Provider Locator and see who is available in that area or contact Member Services and a Representative will gladly help you.
^ Back to top
Q: Why would a provider be interested in the Dentex plan?
A: Currently, millions of Americans have limited healthcare benefits or none at all, and cannot afford the cost of medical services. With the DENTEX plan, consumers can more easily afford the cost of these services and the providers see this as an opportunity to acquire new patients and increase their practice. In addition, healthcare professions eliminate the never-ending stream of red tape, payment delays and expense typically associated with patients filing insurance claims.

Q: How do I know which providers will honor the Dentex card?
A: When you enroll, you will receive an enrollment packet that will include a list of the healthcare providers in your area that participate in the PPO Networks in our plan. Information on specialists and other services can also be obtained by calling the toll-free Member Services number listed in your enrollment packet.

Q: Do I have to wait until I get my Identification Card or can I get the savings now?
A: You must wait until you receive your Identification Card before obtaining any savings. The provider will need your card to verify your enrollment and to obtain certain information from the card.
^ Back to top
Q: How do I locate providers in other areas?
A: Just click on Provider Locator to see who is available in that area.

Q: If I have a change in my membership information, what do I do?
