About Us Gaithersburg

If you’re part of the DC-area federal workforce, you already know that navigating your benefits package can feel like a full-time job. Between health plan options, FSA accounts, and open season deadlines, dental coverage often gets pushed to the back burner. That’s where MVP Smiles comes in — to make it simple.

Your CareFirst Dental Benefits, Explained

As a federal employee in Maryland, Washington D.C., or Northern Virginia, you have access to some of the most comprehensive dental options available — especially through CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield.

Through the Federal Employees’ Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP), eligible federal employees can enroll, cancel, or change dental coverage during Open Season each year. Enrollment is managed through the BENEFEDS portal, with elections taking effect on January 1.

If you’re enrolled in a CareFirst BlueChoice health plan, you also gain access to their Discount Dental program. This program entitles BlueChoice members to discounts of 20–40% off most dental procedures, with no annual dollar cap — members simply pay the discounted rate at the time of service, with no insurance claims to file. It’s a powerful safety net if you ever exceed your standard dental benefit limits.

For broader dental PPO coverage, CareFirst’s network includes over 4,500 providers across MD, DC, and Northern Virginia, and 135,000 dentists nationally.

BlueChoice Plans & What They Mean for Your Teeth

The Standard BlueChoice plan includes both in- and out-of-network coverage with no deductible, while BlueChoice Advantage HDHP offers flexibility with both in- and out-of-network coverage and the option to pair it with a Health Savings Account (HSA). That HSA can be used toward dental expenses — making your out-of-pocket costs even more manageable.
