Abstract

There are different mechanisms by which patients can pay for the dental care they receive. Dental plans are contracts between the sponsor (an employer or organization) and the third party (an insurance company), according to which you can arrange your dental treatment into the most suitable pattern. Private fee for service also called as ‘two-party arrangement’ is the traditional form of reimbursement for dental service. This chapter describes the various mechanisms for payment of dental care including private third party prepayment plans and public programs.
