For over 25 years, United Concordia Dental has proudly partnered with the State of Maryland to support the oral health of its residents. We provide comprehensive dental coverage, easy access to a large network of dentists, and helpful online tools and resources.
URAC Dental Network accreditation demonstrates our unwavering commitment to healthcare quality. You gain the confidence of a network validated against the industry’s most rigorous standards, for superior care. URAC has accredited the dental provider network at United Concordia Companies, Inc., assuring patients and payers that it meets the highest industry standards for delivering quality care and services.
United Concordia plan information
Under the DPPO plan, members may seek services from dentists participating in the Elite Prime Network or from non-participating dentists without the need to select a primary care dentist. You also do not need a referral to receive care from a specialty dentist, making it easy to get the oral care you need when you need it.
Not only will you have excellent access to participating dentists, but you can also get a discount on services not covered in your plan, such as teeth whitening (just look for the green SAVE icon in your search results when using our Find-a-Dentist online tool).
