The North Carolina Dental Society strongly supports Direct Reimbursement Dental plans. Our overall objective is to maximize general oral health by ensuring that high quality, cost-effective dental plans are available to all North Carolinians. To advance these goals we offer our services free of charge, as a public service.

We help businesses analyze and then select the DR Dental plan formula that best fits their financial objectives.

 Summary Plan Description
We also provide each employee with a Summary Plan Description (SPD). This customized document comes in the form of a benefits booklet and provides covered employees with all the information they need to know, including the plan design and how to file and appeal claims. In addition, the SPD summarizes employees’ legal rights under the plan. A federal law requires all employees to receive the SPD.

 Ongoing Employer Support
A North Carolina Dental Society staff member is available to provide continuing employer support.
