ABOUT FCL DENTAL

First Continental Life & Accident Insurance Company (dba FCL Dental) is one of the largest independent, full-service dental benefits providers with approximately 330,000 covered members and counting. Founded in 1998 to deliver innovative and high-quality dental managed care products to employer groups and individuals, FCL Dental has developed a wide range of dental benefit plans, including health maintenance organization (“HMO”), preferred provider organization (“PPO”) and indemnity plan designs, to provide maximum flexibility to its commercial groups, health plan customers and nursing home facilities. The Company’s commercial customers include employer groups, government agencies, municipalities, unions, associations and individuals. Its public sector business provides dental benefits to beneficiaries of public programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and other social programs in partnership with major health plans as either value added benefits or complex mandated benefits. FCL Dental typically enters into contracts with its health plan customers for whom it operates as a subcontracting dental vendor. In addition, the Company also provides dental insurance programs for residents at nursing home facilities to enhance their quality of life through preventive oral care on a regular basis. FCL Dental is headquartered in Sugar Land, Texas.

Frequently Asked Questions about DenteMax Q. What is DenteMax? DenteMax is a national, dental Preferred Provider Organization network. DenteMax’s group of quality dentists have agreed to accept a set, discounted fee schedule when they see DenteMax patients. This means that you can visit any of our PPO dentists and save on your dental costs. Q. Why should I go to a DenteMax dentist? When you choose a DenteMax dentist, you can save on out-of-pocket expenses. DenteMax fees are generally less than a dentist’s usual office fees. In addition, all dentists are credentialed before joining the network. DenteMax checks into a dentist’s current practice information and history to make sure that they meet our high-quality standards. This gives you peace of mind knowing that you are being treated by one of the best. You can visit the DenteMax Web site at dentemax.com to find the most up-to-date list of DenteMax dentists. You can also call us toll-free at 800-752-1547 and a representative can help you locate a network provider in your area. Directories are available as well and are current as of the printed date. Q. Is DenteMax my insurance company? No, DenteMax is not an insurance company. DenteMax is a network of dentists. Our core competency is in the recruitment, credentialing and retention of a high-quality network. You must call your health benefit plan at the number on your ID card for information on your benefit levels and eligibility. DenteMax is solely a dental network and we do not have information on your benefit levels or what services are covered. Q. If my dentist does not participate with DenteMax, how can he/she join? Contact your dentist and advise him/her that you now have dental coverage that uses the DenteMax network. Ask if he/she would be willing to join. If your dentist would like to review our information, he/she can contact us at 800-752-1547. Or you can refer your dentist by phone or via our Web site at dentemax.com. We will contact the dental office directly with information on joining our program.
