Important Network Information

The Golden Age Dental Network is NOT INSURANCE.  We do not pay claims.  All charges for dental services are to be paid by the member, directly to the dentist. The dentist will decide whether fees for services are due on the spot or in installments.

All listed procedures are offered at reduced rates and must be performed by participating dentists.

The fees shown for procedures are reduced fees for usual and customary services.  Please discuss all fees with the dentist prior to treatment.  Any treatment that requires any unusual or ancillary services may be subject to additional charges, including but not limited to, the following: 

·          Any prosthetic appliance that requires characterized dentures, etc.

·          Any orthodontic treatment that requires surgery, maxillary expansion, or headgear.

·          Any periodontal treatment that requires root resection or gingival grafts.

·         Any impacted tooth or molar RCT that presents unusual difficulties and circumstances.

It is at the dentist's discretion whether or not to charge for broken appointments, providing copies of x-rays to members, or a per office visit surcharge for sterilization procedures.

Any member accepted for orthodontic treatment must remain a member of the Network for the full duration of their treatment or may be subject to additional charges from their participating orthodontist.  Orthodontists may charge an additional fee for extremely complex or lengthy    cases (longer than 24 months).

We cannot guarantee the continued participation of any dentist.  It is the members' responsibility to confirm when calling for an appointment that the dentist is currently participating in the Network.   Should your dentist end participation in the Network, you will need to select another participating dentist.  Work in progress after enrollment in the Network must be completed before selecting another participating dentist.

Specialty Coverage
In some areas you may receive a reduction from standard specialty fees from a participating specialist, although under the terms of the Golden Age Dental Network  there is no specific coverage for specialty care. The Golden Age Dental Network makes no claim that all categories of specialty care are available or conveniently located. Call the Member Services Department for the names and locations of participating specialists.

In order to prevent members from canceling and signing up again when Dental Care is needed,  all members who have canceled in any form and would like to sign up again, will be required to pay all membership fees due from date of cancellation or two years worth of membership fees, which ever is less.
