Q: Who is AmeriPlan®?
A: AmeriPlan® is a nationwide Discount Medical Organization. We arrange for our members to have access to dental, vision, prescription drug and chiropractic providers who have agreed to offer their services at negotiated discounts off their usual and customary fees.
AmeriPlan® is a member of the National Association of Dental Plans, the United States Chamber of Commerce, Dun & Bradstreet, the Direct Selling Association and the Consumer Health Alliance.
Q: What is AmeriPlan Dental® Care? A: AmeriPlan Dental® Care is a discount plan wherein members may 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 to 25%.
Since the dental program is not insurance or a health 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 your visits to the dentist.
The reason so many dentists love AmeriPlan® is that it saves them the cost and delays of having to deal with insurance companies. They pass a large part of these savings on to YOU in the form of discounts.
Q: Will I save on dentures and implants?
A: Yes.
Q: Are the services I may receive limited?
A: There are no limits. No yearly maximums. No waiting periods. You can go to the dentist as often as you like. You may get services you want --- and always at discounted prices.
Q: How do I find an AmeriPlan® dentist in my area?
A: There are over 30,000 dentists in the plan. More are added each week. To see the dentists in your area, click here
Q: What if I want to go to a specific dentist not within your network?
A: Plan discounts are only available when you see one of our 30,000 dentists. You may refer your dentist to join the AmeriPlan® network. In your new member kit will be a card to use to refer your dentist to us. Our staff will contact the dentist and attempt to add them to our provider list.
Q: How much is the dental plan membership fee and what does it cost to sign up?
A: There is a one-time registration fee of $20. Membership is $19.95 per month. Membership includes all permanent residents in the household -- whether parents, children, relatives, significant others, or friends. Your Dental Plan membership fee includes you in the Prescription Drug, Vision and Chiropractic plans at no additional cost.
Q: Is there a guarantee of satisfaction?
A: Yes. If you are not satisfied within the first 30 days of becoming a member, you may cancel your membership in writing by mail to 5700 Democracy Drive, Plano, Texas 75024, fax to (469) 229-4595 or email to stop@stopmembership.com. Your membership fee will be refunded. No hassle. Please understand that the one-time administrative fee and money paid for healthcare services and products are not refundable. After 30 days membership fees are not-refundable. You may cancel your membership at any time upon written request to AmeriPlan®.
Q: What makes this plan better than other plans?
A: Many reasons. The monthly fee is lower than most dental insurance. The plan has no limits on the amount of savings or benefits you can receive each year. There are no waiting periods so the savings are immediate. No age limits. All on-going dental conditions except orthodontic treatment in progress are included. No paper work to fill out. And you also save on your vision, prescription, and chiropractic needs.
Q: If I already have dental insurance through work, can I still sign-up?
A: Yes. Many members use AmeriPlan® with their current insurance to reduce their total out-of-pocket expense. It often saves money when their current insurance benefits have been depleted for the year, and on dental work that is not included --- or is only partially included --- by their insurance.
Q: How much extra am I paying for the Prescription Drugs, Vision and Chiropractic Plans?
A: These plans are included with the Dental Plan Membership at no additional cost.
Q: How many providers are in the Dental, Prescription Drugs, Vision, and Chiropractic Care networks?

A: A toll-free members' support hotline staffed with customer service representatives ready to help you is available for extended hours Monday through Friday.
Q: Do I have to remain a member for a certain amount of time?
