Can I use AmeriPlan Dental® as a supplement to my dental insurance plan?

Yes, it can be used both as a supplement and a primary plan.  Since most dental insurance plans don't include braces, dental implants, cosmetic dentistry, etc., AmeriPlan® can provide you a reduction in the high cost of these procedures.  Additionally, dental insurance plans have annual limits (usually of $1,000 to $1,500 a year).  AmeriPlan® is there for you and your family when your dental insurance reaches its cap and you need extra help before the end of the year.  Keep in mind that until you exhaust your dental insurance annual limit, some dental offices may not permit you to use both at the same time - unless the procedure is not included with your dental insurance.

What type of cosmetic dentistry does AmeriPlan® include?

AmeriPlan® accepts a wide range of cosmetic dentistry - that includes bleaching, white fillings, esthetic partials, caps, braces, teeth reshaping, veneers, etc.  After joining, the Membership Information Guide that will be mailed to you will detail all the procedures.

I need to fill a prescription at the drug store.  Can I start today and go to the pharmacy tomorrow and use my free prescription service?

No. Before you can use the prescription, vision and chiropractor care you will have to wait until you receive your membership card in the mail - usually within 10-12 working days from your sign-up date.

I checked with my pharmacy to see if they accept AmeriPlan® and they didn't know.  What should I do next?

When you get your membership card in the mail, take it to the pharmacy and show them the prescription drug logo on the card.  This will identify one of the largest pharmacy networks in the country and most likely your pharmacy will be one of the over 50,000 pharmacies that honor this membership.  Until your membership packet arrives you may review our home page for a partial list of top national pharmacy chains that hope to serve you.

After I complete the online application, what can I expect to receive in the mail?

Within 7 to 10 working days, you can expect to receive your membership cards, member information guide and a directory of all the health and dental providers in your area.  The directory will also contain a complete list of fee schedules for every dental procedure. 

Is this insurance?

Unlike insurance, our program has NO waiting period, NO paperwork, NO annual limits, and all ongoing dental/medical conditions (except orthodontic treatment already in progress) are included.  Plus, several other advantages like instant savings are outlined on the home page. While it is not insurance, AmeriPlan Dental® is a discount service that saves people up to 80% on dental care.  Some refer to it as a  "discount fee for services" program. 

If I decide later that the program isn't for me, can I quit anytime?

Yes, you may cancel at anytime.
