Benemax has invented
a brand new approach to group dental benefits: A "Consumer Directed"
dental plan we call BENEDENT. Other dental plans have a different
“defined benefit” for different types of care: preventive,
basic, major. Benedent uses a “money purchase” formula.
We give each patient a dental budget and let the patient spend
that budget as patient and dentist see fit.
We support our dental consumers by giving them on-line
access to the median cost of every dental procedure in
every zip code along with a list of 100,000 dentists who
have been specially certified based on their practice patterns
and charge profiles. Finally, our
“Ask-a-Dentist” feature enables members to pose dental
care questions directly to a panel of dentists on-line.
Examples
First
$150/year: plan pays 100%, patient pays 0%
Next
$750/year: plan pays 80%, patient pays 20%
Next
$1,500/year: plans pays 50%, patient pays 50%
