Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia

All plans are Open Access Point of Service plans. This means you have in-network and out-of-network coverage and a referral from your Primary Care Provider (PCP) is not required to visit a specialist.

All of our GDA group health plans are broad networks. This means you have thousands more choices of providers over a narrow network, and are much more likely to work with providers, labs, and specialists within your network – reducing the likelihood of surprise charges.

Yes, our HDHP plan is compatible with a Health Savings Account. If you sign up for an HDHP plan, you will then work with your financial institution to set up an HSA.

No! You are not rated based on your age, as you would be on an individual plan.

No! Your enrollment form includes no questions about your health history. You are not rated on your preexisting conditions or health as you could be on an individual plan.

No, you may visit your doctor as many times as you need. Other plans could limit your visits to a certain number per year, and then require you to pay your deductible and coinsurance for visits beyond that limit. On our plan, you are only responsible for your copay for doctor office visits.

Yes. Because our plans are group health plans, dentists are required to be a GDA member to participate.

Yes. As long as the dentist offers it to employees, and the dentist is eligible by membership in the Georgia Dental Association.

No. A GDA member dentist does not have to enroll, but he does have to offer it in order for office employees to participate.

No. There is no minimum participation requirement for employees. Even if only one office employee would like to participate, your office is eligible with GDA membership.

As long as there are fewer than 50 employees, a dentist is not required to subsidize employee premiums.

No, members are not required to offer GDA group health plans to employees. However, we do encourage the office to offer it, as there is no required expense for members to do so.

Yes. Employees can call us at 770-395-0224.

No. Only employees who are joining or renewing their coverage, or employees who are cancelling their coverage must complete an enrollment form.

Member dentists and employees should complete the enrollment form and fax to 404-633-3943 or e-mail it to christy@gadental.org

This is our internal billing number for existing clients. If you are currently enrolled, you can find this on your monthly billing statement. If you are not enrolled, it will be assigned to you.

The GDA will send out one bill to each office on or about the 15th of every month for the following month; payment is due by the first of the month that is covered by the premium. If a practice offers employee coverage, staff premiums can be paid directly to Georgia Dental Insurance Services by either the dentist or employees.

Plan details are posted on this page, and you can also view a webinar online.
