BENECARE MAKES VIRTUAL VISITS A PERMANENT BENEFIT

SUMMARY.

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of telemedicine and BeneCare is now offering virtual dental visits (teledentistry) as a permanent benefit to all active members. This service is designed to connect BeneCare members with state-licensed dentists — anytime of the day or night — in the event they experience a dental crisis while their regular dentist is unavailable.

24/7 SUMMARY ACCESS TO DENTAL CARE.

To support the electronic delivery of oral health services, BeneCare has entered into a strategic relationship with TeleDentistry.com, a recognized leader in the telehealth industry. The TeleDentistry.com technology platform enables BeneCare members to have a live consultation with a dentist using an internet enabled device, such as a tablet, smartphone, laptop, or desktop computer.

HOW TO REQUEST A VIRTUAL VISIT.

Any BeneCare member can request a virtual visit by logging into our secure member website. Once logged into the secure website, a member can click on the link located near the bottom of the page or call the number listed. The member must complete a brief health questionnaire and provide their insurance information prior to getting connected to a live dentist.1

This value-added service means that a dental consultation is never more than a click away when your regular dentist is unavailable. A virtual consultation can help a member triage a dental crisis; determine the best next step; and provide a referral to a participating BeneCare dentist for follow-up care, if necessary.
