Montana Dental Association

Group Benefits Trust

If you already are a member with user name and password, click here.

The Montana Dental Association provides a wide range of member services, one of the more valued is the group medical plan.

The medical plan is called the Montana Dental Association Group Benefits Trust. The trust is a fully insured plan, managed by six trustees and underwritten by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Montana.

As of January 1, 2005, the trust provides group medical insurance to over 203 dental offices and to over 350 dentists and employees; the Trust offers five different benefit options - each uniquely designed to provide coverage and benefits that the membership has indicated best meets the needs of the dental profession. An HSA eligible design is now available.

The Trust has a rate stabilization reserve fund that helps keep the annual premium increases much lower than other options. A second tool used by the Trust is catastrophic claims reinsurance. This limits the claims losses charged to the plan, also functioning as a premium leveling mechanism.

Many of the benefit designs provide "first dollar" benefits - no deductible for physician services. The plans provide enhanced benefits over traditional Blue Cross/Blue Shield products available in Montana and include: dependent coverage to age 25; a 100% paid annual eye exam, through VSP; $250 Diabetes Education; coverage for chemical dependency and mental illness; TMJ and preventive or wellness coverage.

You can get complete information and request a quote by calling our insurance consultant, Mountain West Benefit Solutions at-1-877-343-1060 or email sgarrison@mwbs-insurance.com

1,400+ dental practices save an annual average of 23% or $1,066 over their prior processor by switching to Best Card!

MDA members receive great rates and features including:

• $0 per transaction fees
• a low $5 monthly statement/customer service fee
• no monthly minimums
• a low $25 annual PCI compliance fee.
• You can usually keep your same equipment and if you close your batch by 4:00 PM, you will receive your deposit the next day.
• With Best Card, you will receive one deposit daily for all cards accepted (MC/Visa/Discover/AMEX/etc.) and one monthly statement. This saves time when reconciling the bank statement from those processors who have separate deposits/statements for MC/Visa, AMEX and Discover!

Are you paying too much with your current credit card processor? A simple calculation is to divide your monthly processing fees charged by the dollar volume of credit cards processed. If greater than 2.1%, you are probably paying too much.

Example: Fees ($289) divided by total credit card volume processed ($9765) = 2.96% (effective rate charged). You will almost certainly save $$$ with Best Card!

Fax your statement to Best Card for a complimentary cost comparison and receive a $5 Gift Card.

Please fax your current credit card processing statement to 866.717.7247 and they will fax you back a confidential and complimentary cost comparison showing the savings your office will receive. Call for more information:
