Frequently
Asked Questions
Who is
AmeriPlan®?
AmeriPlan® is a Nationwide Discount Medical Plan Organization. We
arrange for our members to have access to physicians, ancillary
services, hospital advocacy, dental, vision, prescription drug and
chiropractic providers who have agreed to offer their services at
negotiated discounts off their usual and customary fees.
What is AmeriPlan
Dental® Care?
AmeriPlan Dental® Care is a Discount Medical Program Organization
that offers memberships in its discount dental program. Members can
save 25% to 65% on all restorative and cosmetic work (fillings, crowns,
braces, etc.) and up to 80% on preventative work (teeth cleaning,
x-rays, etc.) performed by a general dentist. Specialist fees are
discounted 20 - 25%.
Since the dental program is not insurance or a
healthcare organization,
all ongoing dental problems are accepted except orthodontic treatment
in progress. There are immediate savings, no paperwork to fill out and
no limits on visits to your dentist.
How do I pay my
Membership Fee?
Monthly or quarterly payments are made ONLY by electronic bank draft or
by credit card. INVOICING IS DONE ONLY FOR ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS PAID ONE
YEAR IN ADVANCE. The Dental Plus membership is $19.95 per month and

residents in the household, including children, parents, relatives and
significant others.
How much more do the
pharmacy, vision and chiropractic benefits cost?
The prescription drug, vision and chiropractic
benefits are absolutely
FREE with the dental plan membership.
Who are the Dental,
Pharmacy, Vision and Chiropractic Care
providers?
AmeriPlan Dental® Care has assembled one of the largest networks of
dental providers in the nation, and we are continually adding to this
base. These dentists are well established, with successful dental
practices. Our prescription card may be used at our participating
pharmacies nationwide, as well as through mail order. The vision care
benefits are available nationwide at more than 12,000 providers, and
our chiropractic benefits may be used with more than 7,500 credentialed
chiropractors.

Are ongoing
dental/medical problems (conditions) covered?
Since AmeriPlan® is NOT INSURANCE OR A HEALTH ORGANIZATION, all
ongoing dental/medical problems (conditions) are covered except for
contracted treatment plans including orthodontic treatment in
progress.
Does this Medical
Program (CDHC) coordinate with
regular insurance plans?
Yes it can, but it is always at the Doctor's discretion to accept both.
As with our Dental Program (DVPC) benefits, your insurance should
always be the primary payment form.
How is the
discounted fee calculated?
The rates that the provider will charge are determined based upon
either a set fee schedule that the provider has contracted with the
physician network, or as a percentage off of their billed charges. In
general, discounts will vary between 20% - 50%. Labs and Diagnostics
will have discounts of up to 80%.
Is the Medical
Program (CDHC) contract on an annual basis and
cancelable at any time, like the Dental Program (DVPC)?
Yes.
How does the
Hospital Advocacy Program work?
The Hospital Advocacy Program negotiates with the hospital based
on the member's ability to pay.
