Good News for Employers and Employees!

As a long-term Arizona resident, it saddens me to see so many people out of work - and many companies having to cut hours, wages, positions and benefits. While unemployment continues to increase in Arizona, many families are faced with the decision on how to afford continued dental care after losing their job and their dental benefits. American Dental Plan, Arizona’s oldest voluntary dental benefit plan, is a viable solution for both employers and employees, whether full time, part time, seasonal or recently laid off or terminated.

When job security and health benefits are in question, it is a good idea for employees to assume their own responsibility for continued benefits and consider voluntary benefit programs as a pro-active alternative. This will ensure continuation of benefits in the event of job loss or a reduction of benefits from the employer.

One of the features of joining American Dental Plan is that billing and ID cards are sent directly to the employee’s residence instead of being handled through Human Resources. This also helps in the continuation of benefits regardless of employment status or retirement.

Membership in American Dental Plan starts at only $59 per year for individuals, and families can join for $99 per year. The dental plan provides one exam and 4 x-rays, per person per membership year, for no charge with savings up to 40% on cleanings, fillings, extractions, crowns, braces, implants and more! Members can select from our provider network of over 650 participating dentists through Arizona, including Specialists.

This dental plan is unique since there are no waiting periods, no claim forms, no deductibles or employment or age requirements. American Dental Plan has helped tens of thousands of Arizona families save hundreds of dollars every year on their dental care needs since 1978.

We look forward to helping more Arizonans afford voluntary dental benefits.

To your health. Be well.
