Chicago-based DSO Aspen Dental began offering membership plans for uninsured patients at select offices.
The DSO partnered with dental subscription service Membersy to offer a savings plan that will cost $39 for a primary membership and $20 per year for each additional family member, according to a Feb. 1 news release. Benefits of the plan include free exams and X-rays, no waiting periods and no exclusions for preexisting conditions.
Aspen Dental said it found that 60 percent of its new patients do not have insurance and the membership plan aims to provide an affordable alternative to insurance.
Aspen Dental has more than 1,000 offices nationwide.
