Frequently Asked Questions
No action required until June 30, 2023
I see the portal login link has changed. What if I try to register before June 30?
While it is possible to register and create a portal account before June 30, please note that it may take some time for all your Dental Select information to become visible. Our team is actively working on the data transfer process to ensure completion. Over the next few days, we expect the remaining details to be accessible in the new administration platform. We appreciate your patience and kindly ask you to check back.
After my plan information transfers to the Ameritas administration system, what changes can I expect?
A few changes are happening. We will reissue a new policy to your employer and mail new ID cards to you. You will access your plan information and new plan certificate in the Ameritas portal, and new registration will be required. Also, the provider search on dentalselect.com will redirect to ameritas.com to include your current provider search options. The timely filing period for claims will change from one year to 90 days or as the state requires. Lastly, dental claims will follow the Ameritas utilization review process.
If I do not have an Ameritas portal account, will I need to create one to access my plan information?
Yes. New registration will be required to access your plan information and new plan certificate through the Ameritas portal. Only you will have full access to benefit and claim information. Your adult dependents may create separate accounts for access to general benefit information.
How can I create a portal account after the transition?
Starting June 30th, click here, follow the prompts, and use your new member ID to create your Ameritas portal account. Once done, you can access your plan info, certificate, benefit summary, and ID card.
What other changes might I see?
You’ll spot the Ameritas logo on your new ID card, explanation of benefits (EOB), forms, checks, and general correspondence.
Where can I find current forms?
Please check with your employer for the correct document or to discuss your benefits. If needed, you can also grab updated forms at dentalselect.com/forms.
Are there any additional advantages I should be aware of?
Yes, depending on your state, you can save on prescription medications and hearing care through non-insurance savings programs offered by Ameritas. Get all the details in the new Ameritas member portal.
Will the Dental Select app still be available?
The Dental Select app will be temporarily unavailable beginning June 30th, 2023, while we work on enhanced functionality and connection to the Ameritas administration system. In the meantime, you can access benefits information in the Ameritas member portal.
What should I do if I need information about claims submitted before June 30th?

When will these changes take place?
The changes will occur on June 30th, 2023.
How can I prepare for these changes?
