The Dental Care Plus Group Releases New Updates and Improvements

May 20, 2022/in Bonus Programs, Carrier, DentaQuest, Employee Benefits, The Dental Care Plus Group/by Cornerstone

The Dental Care Plus Group recently introduced new updates and improvements to provide better ways for their members to access and receive care, including:

  • Find Care
    • Updating the Find A Dentist instructions
      • In an effort to simplify the process of locating an in-network dentist, DCPG has updated their instructions on the Find A Dentist tool. Now, members will know to search by DCPG and not to search by state when searching for an in-network dentist.
      • You can find the updated instructions on the Broker, Member, and Employer Resources pages.
  • Receive Care
    • Providing oral health care to local children
      • Last month, DCPG sponsored and partnered with the Cincinnati Bengals and TeamSmile to provide oral health care to local children along with some fun activities, continuing their mission of Preventistry and improving the oral health of all.
    • Bringing strength through their robust network of providers
      • DCPG continues to represent the largest regional provider network in Southwest Ohio/Northern Kentucky through both their proprietary and DenteMax Plus networks.
      • DCPG continues to enhance their member’s access to quality care; over 40 providers have been recently added to the network in the Cincinnati region.
      • Their network of providers includes over 293,000 access points nationwide.
      • Their partnership with providers benefits members through negotiated discounts balancing access with affordability.
  • Do Business With DCPG
    • DCPG relaxed their Coordination of Benefits guidelines to facilitate a better member and provider experience and make it easier and quicker for claims to be paid.
      • Members no longer need to provide proof of primary or secondary coverage to process claims. DCPG will process based on information contained in the submission of the claim. No more back and forth!
      • Members and providers can expect this update to go-live on June 1, 2022.
  • NAPD State Sheets are live on dentalcareplus.com 
    • The NADP’s annual Dental Benefits Fact Sheets have been released summarizing national and state enrollment data based on 2021 data.
    • The report showed 80 percent of the national population has dental benefits. In line with the national average are Ohioans at 81 percent and 83 percent in Indiana. Comparatively, Kentucky is at 79 percent and Tennessee was at 71 percent.
    • Access state-specific fact sheets below or at dentalcareplus.com:
      • Ohio
      • Kentucky
      • Indiana
      • Tennessee
  • Reminders!
    • Enrollment assistance
      • Be sure to point out to your employer groups that you, as their broker, can assist with enrollment:
        • Additions
        • Terminations
        • Changes
      • DCPG’s Master Application allows the employer/group administrator to grant permission for their broker to assist on page 2. Please discuss your office’s availability to assist with your employer groups when completing this form at point of sale.
    • Avesis partnership
      • The Dental Care Plus Group partners with Avesis to offer quality vision products available to groups of all sizes.
      • Enjoy competitively rated plans as well as multi-year rate guarantees with DCPG’s vision plans. Shelf rates are available and low participation requirements offer flexibility to smaller employer groups.

      • They have recently lowered rates by 5 percent, which are reflected in the rate sheets HERE for all new sales effective April 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022.
