In-network accepted

Do You Accept Careington?

Yes. Careington is on our in-network list. Careington offers two kinds of products:

Dental savings (discount) plans. These are not insurance. Members pay a membership fee and receive reduced fees at participating dentists, paying the discounted price at the time of the visit. There’s typically no annual maximum, no deductible, and no claim to file.
Insured PPO plans that use Careington’s network. Some insurance companies rent Careington’s Maximum Care network for their dental PPO plans. In that case, your insurer pays part of the bill, just like any PPO.

Your card will usually say which one you have. If it isn’t clear, we’ll figure it out with you.

What Your Child’s Careington Plan Typically Covers

With a discount plan, most services — from cleanings to fillings and tooth extractions — are available at a reduced fee rather than “covered” at a percentage. With an insured PPO plan, the familiar pattern usually applies: preventive care often at 100%, basic care around 70–80%, and major care near 50%, varying by plan.

100%

Preventive

Exams, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants.

Usually covered in full, typically twice a year.

70–80%

Basic

Fillings, simple extractions.

Commonly covered at around 70–80% after the deductible.

~50%

Major

Crowns, pulp treatment.

Often around 50%; may have waiting periods or annual maximums.

Typical ranges only. Coverage varies by plan, employer and deductible.

Careington FAQ

Is Careington dental insurance?

It depends on the product. Careington’s dental savings plans are discount programs, not insurance. Some insurance companies also use Careington’s network for their PPO plans, and those do pay claims.

How do I pay with a Careington discount plan?

You pay the reduced fee directly at the visit. There are usually no claims, deductibles, or annual maximums with a discount plan.

Is Hopscotch a participating Careington office?

Careington is on our in-network list. Call us with your card and we’ll confirm how your specific plan works here.

Can I use a Careington savings plan with other insurance?

Rules vary by plan and situation. Share both cards with our front desk and we’ll explain how each applies to your child’s visit.
