Common 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, identify yourself as a member of the Aetna Dental Access program. To receive the discount you must present your 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. You and your family may take advantage of the savings anytime throughout the year. You may also change dentists within the network whenever you choose.
Q. Can this discount be combined with dental insurance?
A. In many cases, you can 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 you the plan allotted percentage of the reduced bill.
Q. Is there someone who can answer questions about the card and services offered?
A. Yes. Simply call the toll-free number located on the back of the membership card Monday through Friday, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Central and Saturday between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Central. A member services representative is standing by to answer any questions.
Q. What if my 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.
