United Concordia Coverage Availability & Fees
Dental insurance works a bit differently than your medical coverage. Your monthly premiums allow you to benefit from
comprehensive coverage from a nationwide network of dental professionals. Although every policy differs, most plans
include:
- 100% of Preventive Services
- 80% of Basic Dental Work
- 50% of Major Dental Work
The American Dental Association recommends a cleaning and checkup every 6 months to keep preventable oral health
issues at bay, like cavities and gum disease. Not only will you avoid tooth loss, but you'll also benefit from
reduced overall oral health expenses. Researchers have found that every $1 of preventative dentistry can save up to
$50 on restorative fees. You can visit your dentist twice a year for a co-payment.
If we find anything concerning, don't fret about the cost of dental work. After meeting your annual deductible,
United Concordia may pay 50% to 80% of the expenses for medically necessary procedures. You can use your yearly
allowance to lower the amount you'll pay out-of-pocket.
Unfortunately, your dental benefits don't last forever. They expire at the end of the year and you'll lose anything
you haven't used. Nothing will accumulate and you aren't reimbursed for your premiums or deductibles. On average,
less than 3% of Americans meet or exceed their annual limits, which accounts for billions of dollars lost every year
in unused dental benefits. We don't want to see you throw money down the drain.
United Concordia recommends choosing a dentist in their network because they have pre-negotiated rates for specific
services. However, you can still use your coverage at an out-of-network dentist. You'll enjoy more freedom to choose
dentists and services, but you may pay more out-of-pocket. We are proud to accept both in-network and out-of-network
patients.
