The reason for the difference in effective dates is due to the member having to select a primary care dentist and being included in the monthly membership rosters sent to providers.

No, there is a one year contract with these plans. However, Dental C550 members can terminate their coverage within the first 30 days of their effective date, but they will only be refunded their premium (not enrollment fee) and will be responsible for any claims incurred during this time. After the 30 day window, cancellations are not accepted unless for approved exceptions.

Members should inform their provider of their plan when scheduling their appointment to avoid any issues at the time of service.
