Madison Square Dental at 803 Washington Dr, Arlington, TX 76011 sees patients from Arlington, Grand Prairie, Pantego, Mansfield and the rest of the Mid-Cities, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM. Here is what to know about using your AlwaysCare benefits with us.
Understanding AlwaysCare Dental
AlwaysCare is a dental benefits brand from Union Security Insurance Company, an Assurant Group company. It is usually offered as voluntary dental coverage: your employer makes it available, and you pay the premium through payroll deduction.
Voluntary plans are often built for affordability. Waiting periods for basic and major services and lower annual maximums are common, so it helps to know your plan’s start date before scheduling bigger treatment.
Using AlwaysCare at Madison Square Dental
Madison Square Dental is listed as in-network for AlwaysCare PPO plans. Because voluntary plans have many tiers, we check your exact plan, including any waiting periods, before your first appointment. Many AlwaysCare members begin with preventive care, which is often available right away while basic and major services may have waiting periods.
We never promise coverage: your plan decides what it pays, and we’ll show you an estimate before treatment.
How AlwaysCare Plans Usually Pay
Voluntary and small-group plans like AlwaysCare usually cover preventive care right away and phase in basic and major services. Waiting periods, lower annual maximums and graded benefits (coverage that improves the longer you’re enrolled) are common, so timing matters when you plan larger work.
Services AlwaysCare members ask about most
- Cleanings and exams — Routine exams and cleanings are typically the most fully covered part of a plan, subject to frequency limits.
- Root canal treatment — Plans classify root canals as basic or major depending on design, and we check which applies.
- Same-day emergency care — Emergency exams and X-rays are usually treated as diagnostic services.
- Tooth and wisdom tooth extractions
- Dental implants
- Dentures and partials
Claims, Estimates and EOBs
We send AlwaysCare claims electronically. If your plan has a waiting period, we’ll check whether you are past it before scheduling fillings, root canals or crowns, so a claim doesn’t come back denied.
- Call (817) 275-2229 with your member ID and date of birth.
- We check eligibility, deductible, remaining maximum, frequency limits and waiting periods.
- You get an estimate before treatment, and a predetermination for major work if you want one.
- We file the claim; you pay your estimated share at the visit and we reconcile once the EOB arrives.
