Diversified Dental Services, Inc., is an independent dental Preferred Provider Organization
(PPO) serving all of Nevada, parts of Southern Utah, Laughlin, Nevada / Bullhead
City, Arizona, and most recently, the Mississippi Gulf Coast Region. Diversified
Dental Services, Inc., contracts with dentists to provide their services at discounts
of up to 40%, depending on the dental procedure. The discounted fees are reviewed
and revised annually and are valid for the calendar year. When a PPO member obtains
dental care from a PPO dentist, they are charged the reduced fees, which means they
save money compared to obtaining the same services from a non-PPO dentist.
The Diversified Dental Services, Inc., dental PPO is currently available through
employers, insurance companies and associations. It may be combined with a dental
benefits plan or may be offered on a voluntary basis with or without insurance coverage.
Getting great discounts on dental care is worthless if you can't get an appointment
with a PPO dentist. That's why we continually prospect for new dental providers
based on membership growth and provider location. We currently add an average of
1-3 new providers each month in the Southern Nevada region.
We prefer to contract with dentists already being used by our members prior to their
participation in the PPO. One way to identify these providers is through a report
requested from the claims payor or insurance company for the dental plan. Another
way to gather provider data is by using our Provider Nomination Form. This form
is designed to allow a member, employer or another provider to submit the name of
a dentist they would like to have in the PPO as a participating provider. The combination
of these two methods combined with our regular prospecting efforts has been effective
in consistently increasing the number of participating dentists.
Provider nominations can be made by phone or mail (see below). Please provide the
name, address and phone number of the dentist and their specialty, if known. If
you would like us to use your name in the letter to the dentist, please let us know.
Diversified Dental Services, Inc., currently contracts with more than 1000 individual
dentists for general dentistry, endodontics, oral surgery, orthodontia, pediatric
dentistry, periodontics and prosthodontics.
If you think your company or organization may benefit by utilizing our dental PPO,

glad to offer you a proposal for dental PPO access.
