As previously announced, effective January 1, 2018, your dental coverage through the New York City District Council of Carpenters (“NYCDCC”) Welfare Fund was switched from an Aetna DMO Plan to an ASO/SIDS PPO Plan. As a result of this switch, we have received questions from members asking when new ID Cards will be sent out.

Instead, you will only need to provide your Social Security number (the last four digits should suffice) to your chosen dentist to be accepted as a covered patient.
However, if you feel more comfortable having a paper copy of an ID Card on you when you visit your dentist, there is a way to create one through ASO/SIDS’ website. You can do so by following the below steps:
