The worst company I've ever dealt with! I was quoted a price for teeth CLEANING & there policy clearly states it covers 80% of major dental & 100% of other dental work including TEETH CLEANING! They only covered $20 for teeth cleaning & claimed it was the way the dental office worded it! When I asked to speak with management they put me on hold forever just to say someone will call back & they NEVER did! This is a scam company & I hope they bankrupt

I've read the reviews on Ameritas Dental. I have had them for 2.5 years to date. I've not had any issues logging onto Ameritas.com and reviewing my account, no issues with customer service nor payment of claims. Getting ready for a dental implant and if any issues I'll update the system.

I would give them a negative 1 million if I could. Pay high monthly payments and they deny, deny and deny almost everything that's submitted. Denied by a pip squeak who just wants to get the quota of ripping you off.

A perfect example of why we need universal healthcare in this country. After hours of searching for the best network (best option is always $2000 a year in coverage around 50$ a month covering 50% of care after 6month-1yr wait periods so if you have $4000 worth of work done in a year within the covered time you save 1,200$ btw, everywhere you go it's that tiny bit of coverage for a ton of headache what a wonderful illusion of choice) I chose this service which advertises that they 100% cover preventative care including check ups, cleaning, x rays after a yearly 50$ co pay. Then 6 month waiting period for the above mentioned. After going in for my first check up and x ray to a dentist... Read More

They don't give you an insurance card with an ID number on it.They do NOT have a group on the card! Nor do they include all necessary info to your dentist to file your claim There was no history. I had to call repeatedly to get help. Asked for a manager and was put on an endless HOLD! Their customer service is NON EXISTENT !!! I would give less than one star if it were an option!

Very poor coverage. Ameritas only covered $5.50 on a $120.00 dental visit for a tooth ache. No other dental visits were made this year. Suggest looking at other companies.

This is the worst insurance i have ever had as a teacher of 16 years. It paid like $50 of my dental bill...absolutely ridiculous!! I would have saved money if I didn't have the insurance. The monthly payments were more than the $50...I would have been better off not having dental insurance with them.

Horrible. They paid my dentist $29 for an exam that my dentist billed for$122.00 and $18 for a filling that my dentist billed for $$122.00. They didn't cover the bill for the Analgesia of $78.00 Nor did they cover any charges for getting my son's teeth sealed.

This company sent a booklet of CODES that they cover. That is of no help to me!! I called the number on the membership card and got a recording "No longer in service". I googled the insurance and called three different phone numbers, each of which told me they couldn't help me. I called my bank to cancel the automatic payment and MY bank ended up giving me the phone number to contact Ameritas customer service. No one at that number was able to tell me what ANY CODE pays by percentage for the service or a monetary amount, only that it would be covered. Obviously not! And remember there is a $50.00 deductible. If you have this insurance, the company will expect you to know the dental... Read More
