DentaQuest Mid-Atlantic Introduces Two New Dental Plan Products
Calverton, MD - DentaQuest Mid-Atlantic, Inc., one of the nation¹s leading dental benefit organizations, has announced the introduction of two new products in the Maryland and Washington, D.C. areas. The company¹s new Access ePPO plan, an exclusive preferred provider organization, is now available to companies looking for a cost-saving alternative to traditional preferred provider organization (PPO) dental plans. The second product, DentaQuest¹s new "Ortho Select," is a discount orthodontics plan geared toward individuals without dental insurance or who do not have orthodontics as a covered benefit in their regular dental plan. The Ortho Select plan allows members to pay a fixed, reduced fee for orthodontic services provided by participating orthodontists.
The Access ePPO plan is the third PPO that DentaQuest is offering in the region giving employers tremendous flexibility in choosing an oral health care plan best suited to their needs. The Access ePPO plan lets members choose from a network of more than 1,900 dentists, but does not offer out-of-network benefits. Participants must see a participating network dentist to receive benefits. DentaQuest¹s other two PPO plans include the Choice PPO, which is a wide-access plan with a provider network of over 3,000 dentists, and the Access PPO, which has a network of more than 1,900 dentists in the region. Both the Choice and Access PPO plans allow members to visit any dentist, but participants receive more extensive benefits by selecting a network provider.
"PPOs are the most popular dental benefit plans in the market and employers want a wide range of choices to meet their specific needs and budget," said Christopher Niceley, president of DentaQuest Mid-Atlantic. "The Access ePPO plan is a great option because it gives employers and employees a user friendly PPO-type plan with over 1,900 offices all accepting new patients to choose from and the lower cost pricing of a DHMO."
The Access ePPO plan provides members with a generous $2,000 annual maximum. All dentist fees are based on a published fee schedule, so employees always know their exact out-of-pocket costs before treatment begins. There is no balance billing and there are no claim forms for participants to fill out.
The Access ePPO plan, like all of DentaQuest¹s PPO plans, is covered by the company¹s universal money-back service guarantee that promises quick and accurate processing of claims, no-hassle customer service, timely management reports, and fast turnaround of member ID cards.
