Questions About Your Careington Savings Program?

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an insurance program?

How does a savings program work?

First, you can find participating providers by using the "FIND A PROVIDER" page on this website or by calling (844) 468-2748. After confirming the provider's continued participation when making an appointment, members just show their membership card at the time of service. Members are responsible for paying all fees directly to the provider.

Yes, one of the wonderful features of our savings programs is that your entire household can receive the discounts, even children living at college!

There is not a provider close to my home. What do I do?

While some ZIP code areas may have a limited number of providers, there are usually providers within a 50-mile radius of your ZIP code. You can refer a provider for participation in the network by visiting and selecting "NOMINATE A PROVIDER." The program administrator will contact the provider with information on how to apply to participate in the program. Because of the application and credentialing process, it may take 60-90 days before a provider is added to the network. Not all providers will agree to accept the discounted fees required by the program.

---

If my doctor or dentist refers me to a specialist who is not in the network, do I still get a discount?

You will only receive a discount by going to a participating provider. You might try printing out a list of participating providers to share with your doctor or dentist to see if he/she could recommend any of the participating specialist locations.

What if I don't have my membership card?

If you need a membership card, please call (844) 468-2748, or for faster service, email us at [email protected].

What if I feel the provider overcharged me?

You can send a copy of your bill and a written letter to the administrator of the program: Careington International Corporation, Attn: Provider Relations, P.O. Box 2568, Frisco, TX 75034. They will investigate your inquiry, and you will be contacted regarding the findings.

---

What if I have a complaint about a provider?

Please submit all issues in writing, including a copy of your bill.

Once I select a provider, am I assigned to that provider? How often can I change providers?

Another great feature of the savings program is your ability to select any provider from the network. You can change providers at any time, and household members can select their own providers. Call at (844) 468-2748 for help finding participating providers or visit the "FIND A PROVIDER" page.

What should I say when I call a provider to make sure they participate?

The providers will recognize the name of the network with which they participate, so when you call, it is important to use the name of the correct network.
