Dental Discount Program
CareFirst BlueChoice’s Discount Dental program entitles any CareFirst BlueChoice members to receive 20–40% off most dental procedures.
With dental insurance, there is often a limit on the amount of coverage per calendar year. There is no such limit when using your discount plan; members simply pay the discounted rate at the time of service. In addition, since this is not insurance coverage, there are no insurance claims to file.
Although the Discount Dental program can work well as your only policy, you may also find it valuable if you already have dental insurance. Many dental insurance programs have a maximum benefit limit set per year. The Discount Dental program provides a nice safety net should you exceed your dollar limit and still require dental work.
The primary purpose of the Discount Dental program is to reduce the cost of care for those members who are not currently enrolled in a dental insurance plan or have exceeded their annual maximum coverage. Dental insurance normally provides a much greater level of coverage. However, depending on your needs, the Discount Dental program may be a welcome supplement to your annual dental plan.
Because the Discount Dental program is merely a discount program and not actually insurance, there is no coordination of benefits necessary.
Discounts normally range between 20–40% of the price a provider would normally charge you for these services. View the Discount Dental Plan Fee Schedule.
CareFirst BlueChoice’s Discount Dental program has over 700 participating dentists and specialists in Maryland, Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia. Please use our Find a Doctor tool to find a dentist near you.
