The Ho'ala Dental Program is a dental discount program developed for individuals, students and businesses as an alternative to dental insurance. Members are entitled to discounts off dental services provided by Hawaii Family Dental Centers of up to 81% off the regular price. The amount of money you pay for dental services is provided to you before you see the dentist so you know what your out-of-pocket expenses will be.

The program was developed by dentists and is provided by dentists. There is no insurance company involved, which means less administrative costs, and greater discounts to the patients. Because there is no insurance company involved, there are greater benefits to the member, including:

 

• Low fees
• No deductibles
• No waiting periods for pre-existing conditions
• No claim forms
• No maximum benefit amount

Coordination of benefits refers to the process of applying benefits from two insurance plans to a claim for services. When a patient is covered by two insurance plans (dual coverage) benefits are usually coordinated so that all possible payments are made on claims for services the member received.

Because Ho`ala is not an insurance plan, we DO NOT coordinate benefits. If a patient has coverage under both the Ho`ala program and a dental insurance plan, the patient will be asked to decide which plan they would like to use for the services being rendered that day. The patient has a choice of one plan in which to receive coverage. The center will be more than happy to provide the estimated out-of-pocket expense for both plans so that the choice is easier. Hawaii Family Dental Centers recommends that the patient take the time to understand the benefits of each of their plans.

The Ho`ala Dental Plan is a great option for those who need services that will go beyond their insurance plan's maximum benefit amount, as this provides a cost-saving alternative for the patient.
