You may go to the provider of your choice. However, you will only receive a discount by going to a participating provider.

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

While some ZIP codes 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 "Refer 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 6 – 12 weeks 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 feel the provider overcharged me?

You can send a copy of your bill and a written letter to the administrator of the plan, 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. You may fax them to 1-800-247-4550, or you may mail them to Careington, Attention: Member Services, 7400 Gaylord Pkwy, Frisco, Texas, 75034. Call Member Services at (833) 877-7277 for assistance.

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

Another great feature of the discount plan 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 Member Services at (833) 877-7277 for help finding participating providers.

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.

How do I cancel my membership?

Cancellations must be in writing. Please send cancellations requests with your name and member ID to the mailing address below or email them to member@careington.com.

What is telemedicine?

Telemedicine gives you 24/7 access to state-licensed doctors, even on holidays or while you're traveling.

You can consult with these doctors for common ailments such as a cold and even more severe ailments such as a rash or the flu without ever having to step foot in a doctor's office.

When medically appropriate, DialCare doctors can also prescribe short-term, non-DEA controlled medications and have them sent to the pharmacy of your choice for added convenience. Telemedicine fits your schedule and makes getting back to your normal routine easy.

How does telemedicine work?

  1. Go online or call the toll-free number to create and register your account.
  2. Fill out your medical history. Any dependents over 18 will have their own medical profile and be required to fill out their own medical history. Your medical history is required before you can consult with a doctor.
  3. Request a video or telephonic consult either online, over the phone or through the mobile app.

When should I use telemedicine?

While telemedicine can be used for a myriad of non-emergency ailments such as allergies, cold and flu, pink eye and urinary tract infections, telemedicine is not to be used for emergency situations. Should an emergency situation arise, call 911.

How much do telemedicine consultations cost?

Check with your specific plan for details on the amount of consultations you're allowed per month.

Can I use telemedicine while I'm on the go?

Absolutely! Since traveling can wreak havoc on your immune system, telemedicine is available while you're traveling within the United States.

Are prescriptions guaranteed?

No, prescriptions are not guaranteed. While DialCare doctors can write prescriptions and send them to the pharmacy of your choice, prescriptions are written at the discretion of your doctor. Also, keep in mind that doctors do not write prescriptions for DEA-controlled substances or other classes of medication, such as mood-altering drugs, including antidepressants, anti-anxiety or lifestyle medications.

This plan is not available in Vermont and Washington.
