United Concordia Dental offers Active PPO, Passive PPO and DHMO plans in a variety of funding alternatives. PPO plans let members see any licensed dentist providing a difference between in and out-of-network savings, while DHMO plans can offer cost savings with an in-network only plan.

There are three types of United Concordia dental insurance plans:

1. Concordia Preferred: provides the most comprehensive dental coverage so you can offer high quality benefits to complete your health care package. The plan offers the reassurance of a traditional PPO plan. This active PPO encourages in-network utilization and offers members’ deep discounts for in-network services, already negotiated with network dentists, versus services received out-of-network.
2. Concordia Flex: provides comprehensive dental coverage so you can offer quality benefits to complete your health care package. The plan offers the reassurance of a traditional PPO plan. This passive PPO offers traditional dental PPO benefits with flexible, affordable program options. Members receive the same coverage percentage for both in-network and out-of-network care. Offers the same deductibles for both in-network and out-of-network services.
3. Concordia Plus: plan puts emphasis on prevention, early diagnosis and treatment and is an effective way for employers to offer a low cost, high value dental plan. Riders and Add-ons cannot be combined with this plan. Our DHMO allows employees to have care starting day one and all year with no calendar year maximums. Our DHMO works well as a dual option or as a stand-alone dental plan and allows employers to continue to provide a dental benefit, while allowing flexibly in design to minimize cost and maximize benefits.
