Fine Print

The percentage in the Policy Pays column is the percentage of the policy’s maximum allowable charge that the policy will pay for covered services provided by either a participating dentist or a nonparticipating dentist.

Participating dentists accept the maximum allowable charge as payment in full. 

Nonparticipating dentists may bill you for the difference between their charge and the maximum allowable charge paid by the policy.

Dependent children are eligible to age 26 in all states.

 

Summary

United Concordia offers flexible plans and do provide considerable discounts. Finding a dental insurance policy that suits your needs would not be difficult and their customer services will always be there to help. However, it does not provide the same network of dentists as seen with Delta Dental.

I have had United Concordia dental plan for more than 6 years and I speak from experience. They have so many issues it is truly ridiculous. They use stall tactics . Your dentist will submit a predetermination and 6 weeks later they will tell the patient that the dentist never sent the x rays. Trying to make the patient think the dental office is incompetent. Then they will take another 8 weeks to review it. Getting your money back from a claim is never easy. I did have a dental procedure done in January and didn't get reimbursement back from United Concordia till August. I really had to fight for it too. My dental office sent the claim electronically and by mail to the P.O box... Read More

Worst experience of any health insurance we have had in over 35 years. Denied a claim for a crown for a tooth with "Cracked Tooth Syndrome", their expert dentists claim a filling would have sufficed. The 3 dentists at our outstanding practice stated that a filling will not work long term on any tooth with Cracked Tooth Syndrome. OUR PRIMARY INSURANCE PAID WITHOUT QUESTION, our dentists sent all the records twice to United Concordia. So frustrated with their stalling and denying, finally insisted on getting names of their so-called experts. Note list below, based on all information we have, their opinions cannot be trusted. HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT DOING BUSINESS WITH THIS OUTFIT.... Read More

As others have already stated, they deny all claims. In my case they are denying a claim to put a crown on a tooth that is cracked all the way through. It will eventually rot and need to be extracted; perhaps then they will pay, though I doubt it. In the meantime, I cannot eat many foods, or drink hot or cold liquids. Worst dental coverage anywhere. They should be shut down.

I had high option dental with United Concordia. my job switched thank god. they denied payment for a crown that 2 dentists recommended. tooth had multiple fractures and another filling was not recommended. they repeatedly denied due to there not being appropriate X-rays sent, documentation, then told dentist that periodontal disease was not addressed. all documentation WAS sent over and over and I have never had periodontal disease. after 8 months of not responding I reported to NC insurance board, Pennsylvania insurance board where they live. today I get another denial. I feel so taken advantage of. they are fraudulent. someone has to stop this. please people report, report,... Read More

We were pre-approved to go out of network for orthodontic care for my son. We live in New York but my husband works in Pennsylvania. We were never told we could not go out of state for treatment. He has been seeing the same orthodontist for several years. Now that my son is ready for braces United Concoria is denying coverage. Apparently for 6 years we were supposed to see a orthodontist in Pennsylvania. This was never mentioned until we asked for treatment. United Concordia is a ripoff and not worth anybody's hard earned money.

I would never recommend United Concordia as a dental provider. I wish I had read more of these reviews before switching to this provider. Claims are denied on no basis whatsoever. My husband changed jobs and we were told his coverage was effective through the last day of the month. We had an appointment on the last day of the month and the claim was denied by UC stating no coverage in place. When I called to inquire, they told me coverage had ended on the last day of the month, which I agreed to. I told them the claim was on 7/31, which was the last day of the month. They informed me that coverage did not last through the end of the day and was terminated at 12:01 AM on July 31st... Read More

The deny claims for legitimate work that was needed. I imagine that LAUSD went with them because they probably have lower premiums due to the fact that they pay out very little.

Terrible dental insurance. They deny predetermination claims without taking into consideration the opinion of a qualified and certified doctor. Their staff thinks they are more qualified to make decisions regarding the health of your teeth than your own doctor does. I would not recommend this insurance to anyone. I will be changing insurances as soon as I can.

I selected United Concordia (UC) through FEDVIP based upon my new Dentist's recommendation since the UC documents show they may pay 10% more than other companies (such as Delta Dental or Aetna (which I previously had, but had to change due to my geographic relocation) based on similar procedures. On one instance, a previous root canal had failed causing an infection whereby my General Dentist recommended Endodontic Retreatment. Upon undergoing retreatment at a non-plan endodontist, the endodontist had to stop A $1027 retreatment because he encountered a vertical root fracture that could not be repaired and recommended extraction at a final cost of $450. For the incomplete procedure. I... Read More

We used this company for two years. They were very difficult to deal with. The Dental Office actually winced when we told them who our insurance company was. They did not get a single claim correct the first time and we had to re-submit every time. The worst part was when we moved overseas. They miscoded the Italian dentists procedure and thought we had a tooth extracted. Instead we had a crown put in. We sent it back the first time and they came back and said we owed them money. The Italian dentist included two line items: 1 to remove the filling and the second to put on the crown. United Concordia decided that the first part of the crown procedure is an unlisted procedure... Read More
