Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is the DentaCert Member Dental Plan different than other plans?
A: The DentaCert Member Plan is an association group insurance plan.
The plan is designed to keep costs low and reduce or eliminate annual rate increases. The member has the freedom to choose among three plan designs and select the best plan for his/her budget.
Q: What is the importance of the Association?
A: The DentaCert plan is designed exclusively for the members of NWHA (NationalWay Healthcare Association). The Association has thousands of members throughout the United States enabling the Association to use its massive buying power to offer its members economical, guaranteed issue, member dental and medical benefits that cannot normally be purchased as an individual.  New Jersey State First Aid Council has partnered with NWHA to bring these benefits to you.

Q: Why is "Guaranteed Issue" important?

A: Acceptance in the DentaCert Member Dental Plan is guaranteed for all members of NWHA and New Jersey State First Aid Council. When buying a traditional dental plan, many individuals are faced with exclusions or extended waiting periods. However, with the DentaCert Member Dental Plan, no qualification questions are ever asked, premiums are never rated up for any reason and there are few to no waiting periods for most procedures.
Q: Can I use my own dentist?
A: Yes, the DentaCert Member Dental Plan provides a schedule for each dental procedure allowing the freedom to choose any dentist or specialist. If one of the contracted providers is used, your out-of-pocket expense will be reduced by significantly more.
Q: Are there waiting periods?
A: There are no waiting periods for any preventive (oral exams, sealants, and fluoride ), diagnostic (bite wing x-rays) or basic dental procedures (extractions, fillings, repairs). These benefits can be used immediately upon plan activation. There is only a six (6) month waiting period for major procedures and Twelve (12) month waiting period for orthodontics when covered.
Q: How do I enroll?
A: Members of NWHA may choose to participate in the DentaCert Member Dental Plan as an advantage of membership. Enrollment is simple and can be completed with a representative, in person or over the phone. No health questions will be asked and acceptance is guaranteed.
