HDS negotiates with dentists on behalf of our members to ensure affordable dental services.  While other plans may allow dentists to charge you their full retail rate for services or not cover many services after you’ve reached your annual plan maximum, HDS participating dentists agree to charge you at the HDS discounted rate, even after you reach your annual plan maximum.

Rated A- (Excellent) by A.M. Best Company

HDS has an A- (Excellent) rating from A.M. Best Company, the leading provider of ratings and financial data for the insurance industry.  The rating is based on comprehensive quantitative and qualitative evaluations that include financial and operating performance, depth and experience of its management, and quality of service to its customers and participating dentists.
