Q. DO ALL FAMILY MEMBERS NEED TO GO TO THE SAME PROVIDER?

Q. IS THE DENTAL CARE ADVANTAGE PROGRAM AN INSURANCE PRODUCT?
A. No, the DCA program is a reduced fee program in which the DCA providers have agreed to provide certain health care services to DCA members at a reduced fee. This results in meaningful member savings in comparison to the normal fees typically charged by health care providers.
