Question:

Dental plan On my last visit to US, I had to pay the dentist $ 400 for simple cleaning of my teeth. I am visiting US again and will go to the dentist for another cleaning. This time I read about the careington plan on your website. Is it worth buying It says I'll be given a discount by the network dentist. I am not so clear about the whole process. Could you please explain briefly how it works, giving an example. Thanks.

Answer:

CAREINGTON is an excellent dental plan for visitors. It costs only $11.95/month and there is one time application fee of $20. It works out really great. You must visit a dentist in the network only, available at /dental-vision-plan/provider-network/ For every procedure that the dentist does, you pay a certain amount of copay and rest is paid by CAREINGTON. No claim forms to file. The copay depends upon the procedure you do and the state in which you are located. Look at /dental-vision-plan/dental-schedule/ e.g., in Virginia, adult teeth cleaning copay is $25.00 That is all you pay for cleaning. You can make instant purchase online at /individual-family-dental-plans/ If you have any other questions, please feel free to post it here or contact us at any time.


you get a lot of products for teeth cleaning in the stores. like Crest whitestrips. you do not need to go to a dentist for teeth cleaning. for any other procedures - root canal, extraction nowadays people fly to Phoenix and cross over the mexian border and have the procedures done.


Does this mean; I visit the network dentist. I show him the careington enrolment card. They just charge the copay and rest they bill to careington? But the careington website says there are no direct payments to the dentist. Please clarify where I am wrong. CAREINGTON is an excellent dental plan for visitors.

You just have to pay co-pay. You don't have to worry about rest of the money. Nobody will ask you for rest of the money. It is a deal between the dentist and CAREINGTON. CAREINGTON pays a set amount of money every month to those dentists irrespective of the number of patients. They don't pay any money to dentist just because you went to that dentist. That is why there are no claim forms and that is why CAREINGTON mentions like that. I hope that clarifies.
