Evaluate your potential out-of-pocket costs

Located in your secure member account, the dental cost estimator lets you compare estimated procedure charges based on ZIP Code. You can search estimates for both in-network and out-of-network providers.
Ask your dentist to submit a pretreatment estimate for any dental work you consider expensive. Then Ameritas will let you know the amount insurance will cover so you can budget for the remainder. The pretreatment estimate is based on your plan benefits and submitted claims.

Save Money

You can use your dental benefits with any provider. The thing to consider is out-of-network dentists will charge you their regular rates, whereas
Ameritas network providers have agreed to charge you 25-50% less. After your plan benefits are applied, you pay the remaining balance.

Find out if your dentist is in the network

Visit ameritas.com, Find a Health Provider, to find a new dentist or see if your current provider is in the Ameritas Dental Network. For a list of providers that allow you to use your in-network benefits in Mexico, select Find a Contracted Provider in Mexico.

Nominate your dentist

If your dentist is not in the network already, just go to ameritas.com, search for "nominate a provider" and complete the online form.

Ameritas Information

Dental Health Scorecard

How would you rate your dental health?

In 2016, you can receive your Dental Health Report Card by signing into your secure member account online. Your assessment is based on claims submitted. The report card also offers suggestions if you strive to improve your dental health. Ameritas members can access the personalized report card by going to ameritas.com, click Account Access in the top right corner and choose the Dental/Vision/Hearing drop down. Select the Secure Member Account link and sign in to see your report.

Rx Savings

Our valued plan members and their covered dependents can save on prescription medications at over 60,000 pharmacies across the nation including CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid and Walmart. This Rx discount is offered at no additional cost, and it is not insurance.

To receive this Rx discount, Ameritas plan members just need to visit us at ameritas.com and sign into (or create) a secure member account where they can access and print an online-only Rx discount savings ID card.

Eyewear Savings

Ameritas plan members may receive up to 10% off eyewear frames and lenses purchased at any Walmart Vision Center nationwide. Members may also bring in their current vision prescription from any vision care provider and purchase eyewear at Walmart. This savings arrangement is not insurance: it is available to members at no additional cost to their plan premium.

To receive the eyewear savings identification card, Ameritas plan members can visit ameritas.com and sign-in (or create) a secure member account. Members must present the Ameritas Eyewear Savings Card at time of purchase to receive the discount.

Dental Network Information

To find a provider, visit ameritas.com and select FIND A PROVIDER, then DENTAL. Enter your criteria to search by location or for a specific dentist or practice. California Residents: When prompted to select your network, choose the Ameritas Network found on your ID Card or contact Customer Connections at 800-487-5553.

Your provider network is Ameritas Classic and Plus Network.

Pretreatment

While we don't require a pretreatment authorization form for any procedure, we recommend them for any dental work you consider expensive. As a smart consumer, it's best for you to know your share of the cost up front. Simply ask your dentist to submit the information for a pretreatment estimate to our customer relations department. We'll inform both you and your dentist of the exact amount your insurance will cover and the amount that you will be responsible for. That way, there won't be any surprises once the work has been completed.

Open Enrollment

If a member does not elect to participate when initially eligible, the member may elect to participate at the policyholder's next enrollment period. This enrollment period will be held each year and those who elect to participate in this policy at that time will have their insurance become effective on July 1. If you do not enroll during your company's open enrollment period, then you will be subject to the Late Entrant Provision.

Late Entrant Provision

We strongly encourage you to sign up for coverage when you are initially eligible. If you choose not to sign up during this initial enrollment period, you will become a late entrant. Late entrants will be eligible for only exams, cleanings, and fluoride applications for the first 12 months they are covered.

Section 125

This plan is provided as part of the Policyholder's Section 125 Plan. Each employee has the option under the Section 125 Plan of participating or not participating in this plan. If an employee does not elect to participate when initially eligible, he/she may elect to participate at the Policyholder's next Annual Election Period.

Dental Cost Estimator

Members can use our dental cost estimator at any time to find average procedure charges in their area. The estimates do not include network discounts or plan benefits. Find the dental cost estimator at ameritas.com/applications/group/estimator.

After coverage begins, members can view average in-network charges in their secure member account. Members also may ask their dentist’s office to submit a pretreatment estimate so they can see exactly how a proposed service would be covered and avoid any surprises. The pretreatment estimate is based on their plan benefits.

Worldwide Support

If a member has a dental emergency outside the U.S., AXA Assistance can help. AXA provides credible provider referrals and can even help with making the appointment. Providers referred by AXA are not members of the Ameritas network. AXA contact information is available in the secure member account.

Language Services

We recognize the importance of communicating with our growing number of multilingual customers. That is why we offer a language assistance program that gives you access to: Spanish-speaking claims contact center representatives, telephone interpretation services in a wide range of languages, online dental network provider search in Spanish and a variety of Spanish documents such as enrollment forms, claim forms and certificates of insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my benefits if I visit a provider outside the network?
Yes, if you visit an out-of-network provider, you pay your provider the full balance and submit a claim with your itemized receipt for
reimbursement based on out-of-network plan benefits. Greater benefits are available with network providers, and they submit the claim
for you.

Can I get glasses and contacts in the same year?
No, your benefit can be applied to contacts OR glasses during the benefit year. In other words, you will not receive an allowance for
contacts if you already chose to apply your vision benefits to a new pair of lenses and/or frames during the same benefit year.

Are prescription safety glasses covered?
Yes. You can use your benefits towards prescription safety glasses in lieu of regular eyeglasses or contacts.

Show-Me Benefit Consortium

Show-Me Benefit Consortium is excited to introduce a new initiative for employees, the Samaritan Fund Program. This program aims to provide financial relief to those facing significant medical challenges or the burden of high-cost medications. Additionally, employees are not required to pay any fees to take part in the Samaritan Fund Program.

Participation in the Samaritan Fund Program is entirely voluntary and at your discretion. Should you be deemed an ideal candidate, the program will assist in identifying a health plan that both you and your dependents can enroll in. If healthcare providers agree, then the Samaritan Fund Program will source funds for you to help pay for medical expenses. Ultimately, the choice to participate is yours.

The application process for the program is confidential. To apply, complete the HIPAA authorization form using the link here. This form enables a representative of the program to contact you directly and assess whether the program is a suitable fit for your needs.

If approved, we will assist you in enrolling in an individual health insurance plan along with sourcing financial assistance to eliminate out-of-pocket costs for insurance premiums and medical care.

However, it is important to note that there is a limited timeframe for making changes to your group plan selection. Changes can only occur during a qualifying event or within the annual enrollment period. The deadline to complete and submit your HIPAA form is 5/15/2025.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the Samaritan Fund Program team at:

MedVed Information

What We Do

As your partner, we help your self-funded health plan source specialty and brand name medications at reduced pricing through programs and international sourcing. We assist with program applications and coordinate directly with international and domestic pharmaceutical vendors and pharmacies to source your medications at greatly reduced prices.

Participating members have no co-pays when utilizing MedVed.

Next Steps In Order To Support You, The Member

A MedVed advocate will call, text, or email (member preference) members currently receiving specialty or brand name medications to explain our assistance with program applications or the voluntary international process, check on eligible medications, and answer all questions. We promise you a friendly and helpful experience.
MedVed advocates will then assist each member with completion of their application or enrollment paperwork and will obtain a health care authorization allowing the advocate to get prescriptions and/or application assistance from the member’s doctor. (Specialty programs are applications and require specific documents including income verification. International sourcing is an enrollment, no application, and all qualifying medications are accessible for members.)
For international sourcing, MedVed will submit each member’s documentation and request the member’s prescription from their doctor for a 3-month supply with 3 refills (some high-cost medications will remain monthly fills). Specialty program applications are coordinated with the physician’s office.
Once enrolled in the international sourcing program, a pharmacy representative will call the member to verify information on the order prior to mailing the medication directly to the member’s home.

MedVed assures complete confidentiality of all information utilized in our process and is 100% HIPAA compliant.
