Dental Insurance - An Alternative To Dental Insurance Plans
Having five children, I can tell you that I am always on the look out to save money. And since one of the biggest expenses for families these days is medical and dental insurance, I was naturally interested to learn about a money-saving alternative. It’s called Ameriplan®. Here’s how it works:
Unlike insurance plans, with expensive premiums and massive red tape, Ameriplan® provides affordable consumer driven health and discount dental plans starting for as little as $19.95 per month. To gain access to the 1.4 million Ameriplan® members, doctors, specialists, dentists, orthodontists, vision providers, pharmacists, and chiropractors agree to discount their services for plan members.
I investigated their program to see what type of savings I could expect. The fee schedules are based on zip code, so I entered my zip code for their dental plan. I was impressed, to say the least. I can save from 56-80% on dental services I am likely to use, like oral exams, X-rays, fillings, and teeth cleanings. The savings on braces just blew me away; should my kids need braces, instead of paying the regular $4,500.00, I would only need to pay $2,000.00.
If you are looking for an alternative to health and dental insurance, Ameriplan® is a program you should look into. Start by going to their website and researching the fees for your area.
