CAREINGTON International CorporationLimitations. This is a discount program. This is not an insurance plan. CAREINGTON cannot guarantee specialty care in all areas. In cases in which you are referred to a participating specialist, you will generally receive 15% to 20% off their usual and customary fees. Please verify such benefits with each individual provider. Work in progress, after joining the plan, must be completed by the provider who started the work. Any procedures performed by a non-participating provider are not included. CAREINGTON International cannot guarantee the continued participation of any provider. If he or she leaves the plan, you will need to select another provider. Not all types of providers may be available in your area. Some providers may charge for missed or broken appointments if no prior notice is given. It is the member’s responsibility to verify that the provider is a participating provider. This plan does not include all procedures which might be provided. Any procedure delivered which is not listed on the Schedule of Services may cause additional cost to be incurred by the member. The dollar amount specified adjacent to each procedure may not be the only cost incurred for a given treatment because the treatment may require more than one procedure. Note to Utah Residents: This contract is not protected by the Utah Life and Health Guaranty Association. The program and the program administrators have no liability for providing or guaranteeing service and have no liability for the quality of service rendered.

The Aetna Dental Access network provides enrollees access to a network of independent practicing providers. All network providers are independent contractors in private practice and are neither employees nor agents of Aetna Life Insurance Company and/or its parents, subsidiaries or affiliates (“Aetna”). The availability of any particular provider cannot be guaranteed, and provider network composition is subject to change. Aetna does not provide medical or dental care/treatment and is not responsible for outcomes. All dental care is the responsibility of the treating provider, in consultation with the enrollee. Selection of a dentist is also the responsibility of the enrollee and is not based on any representations by Aetna.

Aetna is not an insurer, guarantor or underwriter of any services provided under the program or of any payments to providers. Enrollees arrange for needed dental care, including payment, directly with the network provider. Enrollees are responsible for the entire cost of the dental care. Aetna Dental Access SM is a service mark of Aetna Inc. Aetna and CAREINGTON are independent contractors and neither shall be deemed to be the agent or employee of the other.
