What's Covered?
Thank you for choosing us to be a part of your care team. We administer dental benefits for Wellcare members in Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina and Ohio.
Your plan offers a member portal. Use it to check your coverage status, pay your premium, view your benefits and claims, find a dental provider and get your ID card.
Need dental coverage? We offer optional dental benefits for Medicare members. Signing up for a Medicare plan is easy. You can compare plans and enroll online.

Want to check if your dentist is in-network?
Most Wellcare members will receive a dental ID card for 2026.
For Wellcare Dual Align plans (DE, IL, OH), your health plan ID card is all you need to see your dentist. You will not receive a separate dental ID card.
We suggest choosing a dentist in our network. This helps you save money.
Wellcare HMO-POS, PPO, or PFFS plans have out-of-network dental coverage. All other plan types (HMO D-SNP, HMO) must see an in-network dentist to get covered services.
If You See a Dentist Outside Our Network
If your dentist is not in our network and does not take payment from Centene Dental Services, you can send us a claim form (PDF).
Ask your dental office if they take direct payment.
Keep in mind: You may still owe money even after we pay our part.
How We Pay Out-of-Network Claims
We use:
- The plan's in-network fees
- Your plan's maximum dollar benefit
- Your share of the cost (copay or coinsurance)
You must pay the rest if the dentist charges more than what the plan covers.
Example:
- Dentist bill: $500
- Plan covers: $300
- Your coinsurance: 50%
Plan pays: $150
You pay: $350 = $150 (your coinsurance) + $200 (amount over your plan's limit)
