Key features at a glance

All dental plans provide:

Free in-network preventive and diagnostic care to help keep your teeth healthy. Note: With UHC DHMO, there’s a $5 office visit fee, and then most preventive care is free.

Affordable coverage that helps you manage the cost of dental treatment.

Wide network of providers that have agreed to negotiated rates, which helps you save money.

Find a network dentist

With the Low and High plans, you may choose to see any in- or out-of-network dentist you’d like, but you’ll generally pay less when you stay in network. With the UHC DHMO plan, you must receive care from an in-network dentist. Visit UHC to find an in-network provider near you.

Use your dental benefits wisely

Here’s how to make the most of your dental benefits:

Present your plan identification. Plan ID cards are not required for any of the plans. However, your provider may ask for your Social Security number to verify your coverage.

Submit for a pretreatment estimate. With the UHC plans, you should submit a request for a pre-treatment estimate for procedures and services your dentist believes will exceed $300 (procedures such as crowns, inlays, bridges, and periodontics). For more information, visit UHC.

Check your claim status. You can review Explanation of Benefits (EOB) statements, check if claims have been paid, and more through UHC.
