Answers:
Because they cost the consumer less than dental insurance, discount plans are adding more members to it's plans every year. Discount plans are popular with Dentists who use them. Over 30,000 Dentists in the US have joined the Ameriplan® network.
Why would over 30,000 Dentists provide a discount to Ameriplan® dental patients?
1) More patient referrals, means less advertising.
2) They are paid at the time of service by the discount plan member.
3) They do not have to submit claim forms and wait up to 120 days to be paid for their dental services.
With Ameriplan® the savings can be up to 80%. Dental fees vary per region.
