Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How does the dental plan work?
A. Participating dental providers are listed in the membership fulfillment kit; members may also call the toll-free number located on the back of the membership card Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time. When calling to schedule an appointment the member should identify him/herself as a member of the Aetna Dental Access program. To receive the discount the member must present the membership card and pay the total bill at the time of service.

Q. Is there a limit to the number of times the card may be used?
A. No. Members and their families may take advantage of the savings any time throughout the year. Members may also change dentists within the network whenever they choose.

Q. May this discount be combined with dental insurance?
A. In many cases, members may use both. Simply visit a participating dental provider, pay the bill and submit it to the insurance company. The net out-of-pocket cost will be lower because the insurance company should reimburse the member their plan allotted percentage of the reduced bill.

Q. Is there someone that can answer questions about the card and services offered?
A: 1-800MD uses a third party credentialing agency to ensure that only the best providers are servicing our clients. The credentialing process is comprehensive and includes license verification, reference checks, and background checks. In fact, the process is fully in accordance with the American Association of Preferred Provider Organization (AAPPO) standards and is the same criteria used by hospitals to grant privileges.

Q. What if a member’s dentist is not a participating provider?
A. Simply call the toll-free number on the membership card and give the member services representative the doctor’s name, address, phone number and specialty. We then contact the doctor about becoming a provider.
