     Limitations. This is a discount program. This is not an insurance plan. CAREINGTON cannot guarantee specialty care in all areas. In cases in which you are referred to a participating specialist, you will generally receive 15% to 20% off their usual and customary fees. Please verify such benefits with each individual provider. Work in progress, after joining the plan, must be completed by the provider who started the work. Any procedures performed by a non-participating provider are not included. CAREINGTON International cannot guarantee the continued participation of any provider. If he or she leaves the plan, you will need to select another provider. Not all types of providers may be available in your area. Some providers may charge for missed or broken appointments if no prior notice is given. It is the member’s responsibility to verify that the provider is a participating provider. This plan does not include all procedures which might be provided. Any procedure delivered which is not listed on the Schedule of Services may cause additional cost to be incurred by the member. The dollar amount specified adjacent to each procedure may not be the only cost incurred for a given treatment because the treatment may require more than one procedure. Note to Utah Residents: This contract is not protected by the Utah Life and Health Guaranty Association. The program and the program administrators have no liability for providing or guaranteeing service and have no liability for the quality of service rendered.

    Dental care is a vital part of maintaining and improving overall health for both children and adults. It is about more than keeping teeth looking good

    Dental disease is chronic, progressive and, at times, painful. It is also highly preventable and maintainable with routine care. Routine dental care is essential for a healthy l~fesiyle which is why Regence Life and Health ‘s Individual Dollar-Based Dental plan is available to you and your family.

    HOW THE POLICY WORKS

    Individual Dollar-Based Dental puts you and your dentist in control. With this dental plan there are no dental service limitations or treatment exclusions, except orthodontia, teeth bleaching and labial veneers.

As an added bonus, when you visit one of the many Regence Life and Health participating dentists you will be accessing dental providers who have agreed to bill no more than our allowed amounts for covered procedures.
