Why Union Dental waives copayments
Copayments are
insurance company's way of managing costs by placing a sizeable portion of the
expense of dental care responsibility on the patient. Copayments also deter many families from seeing a dentist
at all, risking dental health. Union Dental offices have united to form a
network of offices that waive all
copayments up to current plan deductible, up to the
plan's maximum limits -
saving families hundreds, possibly thousands. The goal is to
have patients pay nothing out of pocket.
How Union Dental cards works
Union Dental is an enhancement to local employers’ PPO Dental Insurance by offering the option of eliminating copayments. Employers enroll with Union Dental
Network at no cost. Once dental cards are
distributed, employees find a convenient Union Dental
location then simply present the card and current PPO
Dental Insurance card upon arrival to waive copayments.
No out of pocket expenses are incurred.
