(“MDIS”), a Missouri Insurance Licensed Producer Entity, will be offering a dental, vision and hearing (“DVH”) insurance policy plan to any Missouri consumers found to be appropriate insureds under a policy of insurance underwritten by Manhattan Life Insurance Company (“MLIC”).

3. Be at all times approved by the insurer, MLIC, as a MLIC Dental Provider under the MLIC DVH Policy of Insurance, in order to be eligible for referral to insureds.
4. All dentists on the Dental Panel Referral List voluntarily can be removed from the list with thirty (30) days prior written notice to MDA and MDIS.
5. Any dentist on the list will be removed from the list at any time the dentist is no longer an MDA member in good standing, effective the date the member is no longer in good standing and without prior notice of removal from the list.
6. All provider claim adjudication communications and inquiries will be handled directly between the dentist and the insurer, MLIC.​
