What is the WDA Dental Savings Club?2024-04-22T13:50:10-05:00

It’s a club for people who want more access to more transparent, convenient and affordable dental care. Members pay an annual membership fee and receive access to participating dentists who have agreed to provide members with lower prices for dental care. Members save when they receive dental care from a dentist in the WDA Dental Savings Club network.

Additionally, members get an app that provides access to easy-to-schedule appointments and more.

How does the WDA Dental Savings Club work?2024-04-22T15:11:37-05:00

First, you go to the Find a Dentist feature on the WDA Dental Savings Club website to determine if the WDA Dental Savings Club dental network has participating dentists and dental offices in your area. If the WDA Dental Savings Club has participating dentists in your area, you are in luck. If you want more transparent, convenient and affordable dental care, then you join the club.

Then you simply make an appointment with a participating dentist or dental office, show your membership card at your appointment, and get real savings up to 55% on your dental care. Members get dental care from participating dentists in the network, receive savings, and directly pay the dental office. It’s that simple.

Is the WDA Dental Savings Club considered insurance?2023-10-05T09:11:56-05:00

The WDA Dental Savings Club is NOT insurance, and that’s a good thing. There are no pre-authorizations, no unnecessary fees, no waiting periods, no waiting for bills or quotes, no billing nightmares, no insurance hassles.

The WDA Dental Savings Club provides members with savings up to 55% on dental care plus many features providing a more transparent and convenient dental care experience.

Why should I join the WDA Dental Savings Club?2024-05-29T14:05:55-05:00

Members get more transparency with prices based on Fair Health Organization data. They get a more convenient experience with an easy-to-use app to find dentists , plus easy-to-request appointments, and easy-to-understand bills.

Most importantly, WDA Dental Savings Club members get more affordable dental care with special dental care bundles including savings up to 55%.

Is there a maximum or a limit on the amount of dental care or savings for a member?2023-08-16T10:11:33-05:00

No, there are no maximums or limits on the dental care or savings a member can receive. At the WDA Dental Savings Club, we want our members to get the dental care they need, and save as much as possible. We know a person’s oral health is related to their overall health, and we want our members to be healthy.

If I have other questions about the WDA Dental Savings Club, who do I contact?2024-08-15T08:25:02-05:00

Questions can be submitted using the “Contact Us” feature on the WDA Dental Savings Club app. You can also email Savings@WDAclub.com

Can I use the WDA Dental Savings Club membership with my current dental insurance?2024-05-15T13:35:13-05:00

While you can have both a dental savings plan and dental insurance, you cannot use them both for the same procedure.

Some dentists may let you use your WDA Dental Savings Plan discounts to reduce out-of-pocket costs on new services (not completed treatments or treatments in progress) after you’ve reached the annual maximum limit on your dental insurance.

If I join the WDA Dental Savings Club, will it interfere with my Medicare?2023-08-16T10:09:20-05:00

No, as Medicare does not cover general dental care such as checkups, cleanings, fillings, or dentures. If you have Medicare Advantage with dental coverage, then you most likely receive some routine dental services, so check with your plan to see what dental services may be covered. Also, check if your Medicare Advantage with dental coverage includes a dentist or dental office that works for you.

You cannot use dental insurance and your dental savings club benefits for the same dental care procedure, in accordance with insurance policy rules. Your dentist can, however, help you to coordinate your dental care treatment plan using both your insurance and the WDA Dental Savings Club membership. Once you’ve reached the annual maximum on your dental insurance plan, then a WDA Dental Savings Club membership might help you get savings on other needed dental care.

What if I have a complaint about a participating dentist or dental office?2023-10-05T09:13:57-05:00

Please send an email to info@WDAclub.com and provide the specific complaint including details of the participating dentist or dental office. We will do our best to help resolve the situation, however; the WDA Dental Savings Club does not have a final determination in matters of dental care received by a member and provided by a dentist or dental office, and can’t be held liable for the actions of a dentist or dental office.

What if I think the dental office overcharged me?2024-04-22T15:11:46-05:00

You can send a copy of your bill and a letter to the WDA Dental Savings Club at the address below, and we will investigate your inquiry. As soon as we have all the required information, we will contact you with regard to our findings.

There is not a participating dentist or dental office close to my home. What do I do?2024-05-14T09:02:59-05:00

The WDA Dental Savings Club is working to grow the dental network every day. If you cannot find a participating dentist close to your home, please send us the names of dentists and dental offices in your area that you’d like to see participate. We will reach out to them, confirm credentials and good standing, and invite them to join the WDA Dental Savings Club network if appropriate.

We will follow up to confirm credentials and good standing, and then if appropriate, we will provide the information required to join the network.

Can I go to a dentist or dental office that does not participate in the network?2022-07-13T17:16:12-05:00

You may go to any dentist or dental office of your choice, however; you will not receive any of the savings or other benefits of being a WDA Dental Savings Club member if you go to a dentist or dental office not participating in the WDA Dental Savings Club network.

If my dentist refers me to a specialist who is not in the network, do I still get the savings and benefits?2023-08-16T10:14:09-05:00

No. You will only receive the savings and other benefits of a WDA Dental Savings Club membership if you go to a dentist, specialist or other dental care provider who is contracted with the WDA Dental Savings Club and participating in the WDA Dental Savings Club network. You can ask your doctor or dentist if he/she could recommend one of the participating specialists in the WDA Dental Savings Club network.

Once I select a dentist or dental office, can I change to another one?2023-07-25T12:59:11-05:00

Another great feature of the WDA Dental Savings Club is the member’s freedom to select any dentist or dental office participating in the WDA Dental Savings Club network. You can change to another participating dentist and dental office at any time, for any reason.

However, if you decide to change dentists or dental offices, this does not relieve you of payment for dental care previously received from a dentist or dental office. Members receiving dental care from a dentist or dental office are obligated to pay for the care.

How can I find a dentist that participates in the WDA Dental Savings Club network?2023-10-09T13:22:20-05:00

If your orthodontist is not participating in the WDA Dental Savings Club network, then you will pay according to the Orthodontist’s regular dental care fees.

I have an appointment, what do I need to do?2023-01-20T09:53:38-06:00

You will need to go to a participating dental office. When you arrive at the dental office you will need to show your membership card, virtually on the app. Upon confirming membership, you will receive the savings and other benefits of being a member.

When you call, it is important to tell the dental office that you are member of the WDA Dental Savings Club, and if they are a participating dental practice in the network, they will confirm participation.

How much can you save with the WDA Dental Savings Club?2023-10-05T09:10:12-05:00
