What are the advantages of the Patient’s Choice Dental Plan?
Patient’s Choice designed the plan to make dental care affordable
for uninsured individuals, families and groups by providing
savings of up to 50 percent on most procedures. Take advantage of the
buy-one-get-one feature (available through Premium providers), and your
membership will pay for itself. For every cleaning and exam you purchase through
any Premium provider, you will receive the second cleaning and exam
(from the same provider) for free. In
addition, there is no red tape to deal with … no benefit maximums, no
claim forms to submit, and no waiting periods. For more information on
the benefits of membership, click here.
