NACo Dental Discount Plan now available to all NACo Member Counties
The NACo Dental Discount Program gives your county a great opportunity to offer your
uninsured residents dental and orthodontics savings. The discount card allows people
to save 5% to 50% on dental care and 20% on orthodontics.
The NACo Dental Discount Program is easy to use. Members simply pay an annual or
monthly fee for access to participating providers who have agreed to give services at
discounted rates. For individuals, the fee is $59 per year or $6.95 per month. For
families, the fee is $69 per year or $8.95 per month. With the NACo Dental Discount
Program, a member simply schedules an appointment with a participating dentist or
specialist and presents the membership card to receive a discount at the time of
service. It is important to note:
Everyone is accepted
Family membership includes all family members
All discounts are available at time of service
Unlimited plan usage, with no administrative forms or waiting periods
Significant savings on dental cleanings, x-rays, braces, dentures, crowns, root
canals and more
Discount dental plans are a great option for individuals or families on tight
budgets, but who still place great importance on their family's dental hygiene
The plan can complement health insurance plans or work with health savings
accounts, flexible spending accounts and health reimbursement arrangements
