Why do so many Texans carry Anthem dental cards?
Many patients have Anthem dental through employers based in other states. If your company is headquartered elsewhere, its benefits package may include Anthem even though you live and work in Richardson. Your plan rules come from that employer's group plan.
Remote workers and employees of national companies often fall into this group. Because the plan was designed for a company elsewhere, details like the annual maximum or waiting periods may not match what coworkers on other plans have. Our coordinator confirms them so you can plan care with accurate numbers.
