Dear Patient:

Direct reimbursement is a great alternative to traditional dental insurance. Direct reimbursement is an employer-sponsored plan that can offer you comprehensive dental benefit coverage and the freedom to choose any dentist.

In recent years, corporate belt tightening and insurance companies may have limited your choices when it comes to dental care. When your employer implements direct reimbursement, you visit the dentist of your choice, receive treatment, and arrange for payment. After your appointment, you present a paid receipt or proof of treatment to your employer or plan administrator for reimbursement. In addition, many plans will allow benefits to be assigned directly to the dental office.

This plan reimburses you based on total expenses incurred. There are typically no deductibles and few excluded services. It frees us to determine exactly the care you need for a healthy and long-lasting smile. Direct reimbursement also helps you avoid unpleasant financial surprises since you can calculate your share of the dental expense in advance.

You may wish to talk with your employer or benefits administrator about the value of direct reimbursement — they may not realize that 88 to 90 percent of the money spent on employees’ dental coverage under a direct reimbursement plan goes directly to care and not to overhead or administration of a more complicated dental insurance plan.

For more information about direct reimbursement, call our office at [office number]. It is our pleasure to provide you with quality dental care.

Sincerely,

Dentist
