Our Patient Advocacy**** program ensures a positive experience for members by reducing confusion with provider recognition and participation. The member will want to utilize their card and enjoy the savings time and time again.
Before scheduling an appointment, the member will call the number on the back of their card to speak with a Patient Advocacy representative. The representative will contact providers in the network to ensure the dental office understands the Dental Care discount card and is accepting new patients.
The representative will then contact the member to provide several different dental care locations so the member may select the provider that most meets their specific needs and book an appointment. |
