Reimbursements
Savon Dental Plan IS NOT an Insurance company and we WILL NOT reimburse ANY member or doctor for any payments listed on the Schedule of Benefits, prescriptions, or for any procedures or fees that are not listed.
Changing Your Provider
To insure your satisfaction with our plan, members may change dental facilities as often as necessary. We do adivse you to remain with your dentist (if at all possible), for as long as you can. Staying with the same dentist usually leads to a higher patient / doctor trust factor which results in better dental health. Members MUST notify Savon Dental Plan that they wish to change dentist and obtain a new membership card. There is no charge to change dental facilities.
Making Appointments
In most cases your temporary membership card will allow you to make an appointment right away. Some doctors require that you be on their roster before they will make an appointment. If you have a problem making an appointment, contact Savon Dental Plan and we will assist you. Permanent cards will be mailed within 2 weeks.
Charges and Payment for Services
