Careington Dental Plan
Scam?
For many
Careington members it’s difficult to believe, but there are consumers who suspect that a Careington dental plan scam
is afoot. Careington is not an insurer, but they do offer impressive programs that give patients a discount on
services from dental professionals like dentists, orthodontists, and oral
surgeons.
Essentially,
plan members must make appointments with any of the providers on Careington’s list. When they have routine
care and other procedures performed by one of these professionals, they will receive a discount – typically
between 5% and 60% - on that care. For providing these discount services, Careington charges its members a
modest monthly deductible, the cost of which is wholly offset by the amount of savings the member
receives.
