How to Enroll in a Dental Plan from United Concordia:

If you are not currently enrolled in a dental plan:
If you are NOT currently enrolled in the United Concordia Dental HMO plan or the United Concordia Dental PPO plan, you may select either United Concordia plan by making the appropriate selection during Open Enrollment. To make your selection, you must first enroll though the state's Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system. More information on enrolling through the IVR is available in the State of Maryland July 2011-June 2010 Benefits Guide.

If you are enrolling in the United Concordia DHMO plan you must select a primary dental office (PDO) from United Concordia's Concordia Plus network of participating dentists when you enroll. You must notify United Concordia of your PDO selection by calling 1-888-638-3384. If we do not receive your selection prior to June 10th, you will be assigned a dentist closest to your home ZIP code. You are free to change your primary dental office selection at any time. Remember to verify that your dentist participates in the Concordia Plus network before selecting a primary dental office and seeking care. You can do this by calling 1-888-638-3384 or visiting www.unitedconcordia.com and entering the Members section. Just click on Clients' Corner and search for "State of Maryland." Then you can Search for a Concordia Plus General Dentist in the DHMO section.

If you are enrolling in the United Concordia DPPO plan, you do not need to select a primary dental office (PDO).
