Careington dental discount / ppo-network reference

Dental-network resources and contact scope

Use https://provider.careington.com as a public dental-network entry point. Distinguish discount/POS resources from the insured PPO partner’s eligibility and claim instructions; verify the responsible insurer or TPA from the patient membership card and agreement. Public resource retrieval did not test authenticated access or transactions. QuickIntell is not the network or an official payer portal.

Open the official dental-network resource entry point

This registry lists 1-800-441-0380 as a contact reference for Careington. 8004410380 option 8 is Provider Relations. 8002900523 remains valid for discount-member eligibility/member services. PPO eligibility and TPA claim questions use the patient membership-card contact.

• Do not describe every Careington offering as insurance or every partner product as noninsurance. Distinguish discount/POS from insured PPO arrangements.
• Network access does not itself identify the responsible insurer/TPA or medical 837/270/835 routes. Check the patient membership card and agreement.
• Provider Relations option 8 belongs in visible contact qualification, not appended to telephone digits. Existing 8002900523 is valid for a different role.

Identify discount/POS versus insured PPO first

1. Identify the specific discount/POS arrangement or insured PPO partner product before choosing an eligibility, payment or claims route. A network name alone does not identify the insurer or administrator.
2. For the described discount/POS arrangement, the patient pays the provider at the time of service. Use the discount-member eligibility resources. This does not establish that a patient lacks separate insurance or cannot seek reimbursement from a separate insurer.
3. For insured PPO eligibility and claim-payment questions, use the responsible plan or TPA contact identified on the patient membership card and applicable agreement. Do not replace this with the discount-member phone or Provider Relations number.
4. Keep Provider Relations 1-800-441-0380, option 8, separate from discount-member eligibility/member services at 1-800-290-0523. The menu option belongs in explanatory text, not the telephone digits.
5. Careington discount/POS administration uses payment by the patient at service, not a universal insurance claim clock. For insured PPO services, use the actual TPA/plan and applicable agreement to determine claim submission and deadlines. The checked network sources do not establish one Careington-wide 180-day filing limit.
