What is AmeriPlan Dental®
Care?
AmeriPlan Dental® Care is a
Discount Medical Program Organization that
offers memberships in its discount dental
program. Members can save 25% to 65% on all
restorative and cosmetic work (fillings, crowns,
braces, etc.) and up to 80% on preventative work
(teeth cleaning, x-rays, etc.) performed by a
general dentist. Specialist fees are discounted
20 - 25%.
Since the dental program is not insurance or a
healthcare organization, all ongoing dental
problems are accepted except orthodontic
treatment in progress. There are immediate
savings, no paperwork to fill out and no limits
on visits to your dentist.
How do I pay my Membership
Fee? Monthly or quarterly payments are
made ONLY by electronic bank draft or by credit
card. INVOICING IS DONE ONLY FOR ANNUAL
MEMBERSHIPS PAID ONE YEAR IN ADVANCE.
How much more do the
pharmacy, vision and chiropractic benefits cost?
The prescription drug, vision and chiropractic
benefits are included with the dental plan
membership and medical membership.
Who are the Dental,
Pharmacy, Vision and Chiropractic Care
providers?
AmeriPlan Dental® Care has assembled one of
the largest networks of dental providers in the
nation, and we are continually adding to this
base. These dentists are well established, with
successful dental practices. Our prescription
card may be used at our participating pharmacies
nationwide, as well as through mail order. The
vision care benefits are available nationwide at
more than 12,000 providers, and our chiropractic
benefits may be used with more than 7,500
credentialed chiropractors.
How do I use the benefits?
Within 10 to 14 working days of receipt of your
application, you will receive a Member
Information Guide, Membership Identification
Cards and a Dental, Pharmacy, Vision and
Chiropractic Care Directory. Present your
Identification Card to any AmeriPlan® provider
and you will be eligible to get the discounted

service.
Are ongoing dental/medical
problems (conditions) covered? Since
AmeriPlan® is NOT INSURANCE OR A HEALTH
ORGANIZATION, all ongoing dental/medical
problems (conditions) are covered except for
contracted treatment plans including orthodontic
treatment in progress.
Does this Medical Program
(CDHC) coordinate with regular insurance plans?
Yes it can, but it is always at the Doctor's
discretion to accept both. As with our Dental
Program (DVPC) benefits, your insurance should
always be the primary payment form.
How is the discounted fee
calculated? The rates that the provider
will charge are determined based upon either a
set fee schedule that the provider has
contracted with the physician network, or as a
percentage off of their billed charges. In
general, discounts will vary between 20% - 50%.
Labs and Diagnostics will have discounts of up
to 80%.
