PITTSFIELD, Mass.  June 11, 2015—Hillcrest Dental Care has introduced an annual membership plan.  

Members of the Smile Savers Discount Plan (The Plan) will pay an annual membership of only $139.95. The benefits of this membership include an initial assessment, one cleaning per membership period, x-rays with cleaning, and up to 25% off the price of all HDC dental services.  This represents an immediate $70 savings off of Hillcrest Dental Care’s normal fees for these services, but a substantial savings compared to regional costs. Plan members must also agree to pay for any extra services at the time of treatment.  

Anyone over the age of 18 is eligible for the plan, and anyone under the age of 18 may join the plan if his or her parent/guardian is a member.  Additional annual memberships are only $89.95 per person for members of the same household.  

There is immediate eligibility for the plan, no deductible, no claim forms and no pre-authorization requirements.  

The Plan is not dental insurance and does not meet the minimum credible coverage requirements under M.G.L. c111M and 956 CMR 5.00.  Plan does not make any payments to providers for services received.  Plan members are obligated to pay for all discounted services received under the Plan.  

"The Smile Savers Discount plan will help offset the cost of dental care for those who have no access to traditional dental insurance" said Tricia Hunt, Director of Operations for HDC.  "This is just one more option Hillcrest Dental Care is happy to provide for the region.”  

For more information about the Smile Savers Discount Membership Plan, call (413) 445-6680 or stop by one of our Hillcrest Dental Care offices located in North Adams or Pittsfield.
