Dental Plan 101 - A Beginner's
Guide
| A discount dental
plan is designed for individuals and families
looking to save money on dental care services. A
participating provider in the dental plan has
agreed to accept a discounted fee as
payment-in-full for services performed. As a
dental plan member, you simply show your
membership card when visiting any participating
plan provider to receive |
| dental services at
discounted fees. Note: A discount
dental plan is NOT an insurance plan, but a
discount program. | |
How to Get Your Dental
Plan... |
When choosing a discount dental plan, it's
important to make an informed and confident decision.
Our website searches are designed to help you browse and

you to find one that offers the greatest benefit to you
and/or your family.
Once you decide which dental
plan you would like to join, enrolling is quick and
easy. You may apply payment instantly online with your
credit card or electronic check. After you have paid for
your plan, you instantly receive your permanent
membership cards and fulfillment package online.
Everything you need is provided online in the provider's
Member's Area. |
How to Save
With Your Dental Plan... |
Once you have joined a discount
dental plan, you can start using it almost instantly.
There is no waiting period, and benefits for most dental
plans activate within two business days after
enrollment.
Once you've printed out your
membership card and online membership package in the
dental plan member's area, you can call to make an
appointment. Using the dentist search, finding and
contacting a participating provider is easy. When
contacting the participating provider, be sure to
mention the dental plan listed on your membership card.
When you arrive for your appointment, present your
dental plan card to the receptionist. This will ensure
that you are charged discounted fees according to your
selected dental plan.
Most services your
participating dental plan provider completes have a
corresponding American Dental Association (ADA) code.
Each 4-digit ADA code describes a specific dental
procedure. Payment for services performed is due at the
time of service. There are no paperwork hassles or claim
forms to submit.
Many dental plans also offer
ways to save on more than dental care, offering
discounts on prescriptions, vision, and more. We
recommend using our comparison chart if you are
interested in joining a dental plan with added
benefits. |
