About Careington Dental
Careington International, based in Frisco, Texas, is best known for discount dental plans such as the Careington Care 500 Series, along with PPO network services. A discount plan is not insurance: you pay a membership fee and get reduced fees at participating dentists. There are no claims, deductibles or annual maximums.
Careington also runs the Maximum Care PPO network, which some insurance plans lease. If your card says Careington, check whether it is a discount membership or an insurance plan that uses Careington’s network.
How Madison Square Dental Works With Careington
Madison Square Dental participates in Careington. If you have a Careington discount dental plan, we accept it and charge the reduced fees on your membership tier. Remember that a discount plan is not insurance. It lowers your price but doesn’t pay claims. If Careington is the network behind an insurance plan, we’re in-network for that plan.
We never promise coverage: your plan decides what it pays, and we’ll show you an estimate before treatment.
What Careington Typically Covers
A discount membership doesn’t have coverage tiers. Instead it lists a reduced fee for each procedure. If Careington is only the network behind an insurance plan, that plan’s preventive / basic / major structure applies.
Services Careington members ask about most
- Dental implants — Implant coverage differs more than almost any other benefit, so a predetermination is worth requesting first.
- Dentures and partials — Dentures usually fall under major services and can have replacement-frequency rules.
- Cleanings and exams — Routine exams and cleanings are typically the most fully covered part of a plan, subject to frequency limits.
- Tooth and wisdom tooth extractions
- Root canal treatment
- Same-day emergency care
Billing and Claims
With a discount membership, there’s no claim. You pay the plan’s reduced fee at your visit. If Careington is the network behind an insurance plan, we file the claim with the insurer on your card.
- 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.
What to Bring
- Your Careington card (check for a plan name like “Care 500” or an insurance company logo)
- Your member ID
- Payment for your share at the visit if it’s a discount plan
