Could not access list of dentist in my zip code, who work with Careington.

I purchased the Careington 500 series in 2016 and have paid 17.95 a month since then. Never used it. Now I'm trying to use it and I make appt and before I can get to the appt the Dentist office calls and says they do not take it. The list of Dentist online I've called so far so they do not take it. I would like to get help finding a Dentist in my area that will take it. Maybe then I can give a better review.

I enrolled in the Careington Dental 500 Plan for myself and my spouse. I called customer service and they did not have any information on my spouse which I entered online when I enrolled. I gave my spouse's information and am waiting to see her name on the plan. The plan online stated "Member plus one" and my plan cards are correct with my name & "dependent" but I do not see any indication that she is covered. Hoping to hear from Careington that all is taken care of and that this issue is resolved. Other than this glitch, I am happy that I signed up for this coverage.

You have Dentist list on your provider network that do not accept your discount service. You need to update your web list

Be aware that some procedure codes are not included. In dentistry a crown is what dental insurance plans hate. For example, most dentists will give you a porcelain crown - the procedure code is D2740 Notice Careington only includes the “fused to high metal crown” - D2750 Thus if they give you a porcelain crown D2740, you will only receive a 20% discount They also have made it a point to find specific procedures dentists use that would not be profitable for Careington, thus they are emitted. There are almost 50 or more procedures that are admitted in the fee schedule. My opinion is it may be helpful if the dentist will actually agree to accept what Careington states is the patient fee. It is my understanding if they can declare that the dentist is in network and still not honor the fee that Careington states you will be charged for.

Beware of Carrington 500 plan. My wife and I just found out you cannot cancel a Carrington policy and get a refund. We love our dentist but he has stopped honoring Carrington, so my wife called to cancel for the seven months remaining on our policy and get refunded on the balance, but they do not allow you to cancel. This makes no sense to me. I can cancel my car insurance and get a refund, same with health insurance, but not with Carrington. Just want everyone to be aware if you pay yearly, you are locked in for the whole year, which I find very unreasonable and certainly not customer friendly!

Rest assured, you will not pay the price that is listed on this companies discount program list. Aspin Dental is on the list, and they do not actually honor the prices with this discount program even tho they are listed! Don't waste your money on this. It is less expensive to pay $35 a month to an insurance company. They cover fee preventative maintenance such as cleaning, and x-rays. For example, on the list of coverage cost, A periodontal maintenance cost is $71, Aspin charged me $163.00. For a simple abstraction $60, I was charged $150.00. Aspin made every excuse in the book as to why my cost was higher. Again, don't wast your $$$$s on this discount program with the hopes of saving lots of money. You're better off getting normal dental insurance coverage because, in the long run, you're going to be paying more money! I do not recomment Aspin Dental or Carrington Care 500.

Didn't do enough research to understand it's a discount plan, not insurance
