Membership Benefits
Who is American Dental Plan? Founded in 1978, we are
Arizona's oldest voluntary dental benefit
plan. By purchasing a yearly membership, you gain
access to a network of participating dental offices that provide the
same quality dental services but at affordable and predictible
prices. All residents of Arizona are eligible to join
regardless of their age, employment status or dental care needs.
This dental plan is unique since there are no waiting periods, no
claim forms, no pre-existing exclusions, no yearly maximums, no
employment requirements or age restrictions. Enrollment is
always open and benefits are available immediately!
American Dental Plan can be used as the primary dental benefit or can also be used for any dental service NOT covered by your existing policy, (such as waiting periods, exceeding the yearly maximums, changing jobs, retirement, any un-insured family members, etc.) For more info, see our FAQ section.
American Dental Plan encourages early detection & ongoing maintenance and offers a cost effective alternative to paying usual and customary fees or using managed care plans. In many instances, you will save enough money at your first dental visit to pay for your yearly membership!
What Services Do I Receive?
Each membership year, you
will receive an examination* and 4
x-rays at no charge! (some dentists may require
more than just 4 x-rays). Additional dental
services including cleanings, fillings, extractions, root canals,
crowns and dentures, (and orthodontics!) are available at
substantial savings from the latest fee schedule, (Phoenix Metro and Tucson, Rural Areas, Orthodontics) . Also, it is not
necessary to obtain a referral before seeing a Specialist.
Just call the dentist to schedule your
appointment.
*(Many dentists will approach your initial examination as more comprehensive and, therefore, is charged in accordance with the latest fee schedule. If you are charged for this initial exam, your second exam during your membership year will then be "No Charge".)
Where are Services Obtained? There are over 650
independent participating general and specialty dentists
throughout Arizona. Refer to the most current list of dental
offices in Phoenix,
Tucson,
or the Rural Areas . This website will
provide the location of each participating OFFICE that is accepting NEW patients. Many offices have more than one dentist and can schedule your appointment without delay.
(Those offices which are closed to new patients are not currently listed in the network but may be selected with permission from the participating dentist). You are free to choose any of
these locations to receive your dental care. Should you decide to
change dentists, you must first contact the Administrative Office to
update your membership card and be placed on the dentist's patient roster.
We are
always adding new participating dentists to our network in
Arizona. If your dentist is not listed, ask
their office staff if they wish to participate
and we can
forward a provider packet without
obligation. |
How do I receive Dental Services? Upon enrollment, you are able to call the dental office to schedule your appointment. (The dental office can verify your eligibility if you have not yet received your ID cards). You pay the dentist directly for all services provided. The amount you pay is clearly listed on the most recent fee schedule. (Please be aware that you will be charged an additional $10 at each dental appointment to pay for gloves, masks and increased sterilization techniques as required by OSHA). Your permanent ID card will be delivered by US mail within a few days of enrollment.
YOU WILL
RECEIVE DENTAL SERVICES AT REDUCED RATES
ONLY AT
