Tiered Dental

A multi-tiered dental fee-for-service program, where you have access to dentists under THREE distinct scenarios.

Nice Smile
  • Tier 1: At select participating schedule (A) Tier 1 general practitioners across the country, you receive a no-charge** exam and x-rays in conjunction with a paid annual cleaning. Participating providers abide by a fee schedule of fixed payments for most procedures. Fixed schedule procedure rate savings are 25% - 60% on dental care, as compared to the American Dental Association surveys of usual and customary fees.
  • Tier 2: In the event a schedule (A) Tier 1 provider is not available in a given area, a secondary schedule participating dentist may be available at some of the lowest rates of any national dental network.
  • Tier 3: In the event a Tier 1 or Tier 2 dentist is not available in your area, please call a Customer Care Consultant for assistance in accessing a Tier 3 provider where available.
