What is GE Wellness Plan? |
 |
The GE Wellness Plan is designed for individuals
and families looking to save money on dental and vision care
services. All
participating providers have agreed to accept a discounted fee as
payment in full for each service performed. |
|
When can I start using this
service? |
|
Your membership is activated within 3
business days
after your payment is received. Unlike some dental
insurance, there is no 30-day or 90-day waiting period or background
check. |
|
Do I get a membership card? |
|
Yes. All members are able to print out
their membership cards and the GE Wellness Plan enrollment kit
immediately following the online enrollment. |
|
What is a participating provider?
|
|
A participating provider is a dentist, optometrist
or ophthalmologist who has agreed to participate in the GE
Wellness Plan provider network and provide services
to GE Wellness Plan members at discounted fees. |
|
What providers are available
in my area? |
|
Use Family Dental USA's powerful
searches to find a dentist or vision provider in your area.
The GE Wellness Plan has a nationwide network of
pre-screened, credentialed providers. |
|
Can I change my dentist or vision
provider? |
|
Yes. You may change your dentist or vision provider
at any time without all that paperwork. Simply go to our Website
and search for another dentist or vision provider in your area. |
|
Is this insurance? |
|
No. GE Wellness Plan is a discount
referral plan. For some people, we are a better alternative
to insurance because there are no deductibles,
no waiting periods, no claim forms, no age limits,
and all pre-existing conditions are covered, with the
exception of orthodontics already underway.
|
|
What steps are taken to ensure
that the participating dentists and vision providers are qualified?
|
|
All of the GE Wellness Plan participating dentists and vision
providers are subject to a selective screening process to ensure
that all are qualified and their qualifications meet the standards
of the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). |
|
What if I move? Am I still covered?
|
|
Yes, wherever the GE Wellness Plan has providers.
The GE Wellness Plan has a nationwide provider network*.
Even while traveling or vacationing, you're
covered!
* Plan benefits not available in these states:
AK, AL,
LA, ME, MS, MT, ND, NM, SC, SD, WY.
|
|
What if I find that it is not
for me? |
|
THERE IS A 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE for
the first 30 days. FamilyDentalUSA will issue a full refund of the membership fees
you have paid within the first thirty days
from the purchase date of the GE Wellness Plan. Refund requests that are made
after the first 30 days will be prorated over the remaining period minus a $20 administrative and processing fee.
All cancellations must be submitted to FamilyDentalUSA in writing by US mail, fax
or e-mail. Please contact FamilyDentalUSA toll free at 1-866-DENTAL5
for further information.
|
|
I work in human resources for
a medium-sized company that does not offer a dental plan. Can our
employees join as a group? |
|
Yes. FamilyDentalUSA can offer the
GE Wellness Plan to groups (or organizations, profit or non-profit)
of five members or more. Call FamilyDentalUSA at 866-336-8255
and ask for a group sales representative for details. |
|
Do I have to use one of GE
Wellness Plan's participating providers? |
|
Yes. Remember, all of the GE Wellness Plan providers are carefully
screened. Only participating providers agree to provide
services according to the GE Wellness Plan fee schedules. |
|
Is there a limit
to the number of members covered under the family plan? |
|
There is no limit, as long as everyone enrolled
in the family plan is a financially dependent family member
living in your household. |
|
I have some dental health insurance
provided by my employer now, but it is not very good. Can I use
your service as well? |
|
Yes. Many GE Wellness Plan members use the plan as a
supplement to the coverage they now have. |
|
What if I lose my card?
|
|
Simply visit the FamilyDentalUSA website and
go to Member Login to print out
more membership cards. |
|
What if my
provider is not listed here? |
|
Have your dentist or vision care provider call GE Wellness Plan to
become a provider. |
