Arlington, Va. – Dominion National, a leading dental and vision
insurer and administrator headquartered in Arlington, Va., announced
that it is partnering with SmileDirectClub, Inc. (Nasdaq: SDC), the oral
care company with the first telehealth platform for teeth
straightening, to offer its members access to SmileDirectClub's
orthodontic clear aligner program.
Dominion members with orthodontia coverage on its
PPO plans will receive in-network coverage of SmileDirectClub's
convenient, remote orthodontic care that has been provided to more than 1
million individuals. Dominion members without PPO orthodontia coverage
also will be able to take advantage of discounted pricing through this
partnership.
Dominion members will have three ways to get
started on their SmileDirectClub journey: with a 3D scan performed at
one of SmileDirectClub’s SmileShops; at a SmileDirectClub Partner
Network affiliated dentist or orthodontist office; or with a
doctor-prescribed, at-home impression kit. Treatment is prescribed and
monitored remotely by state-licensed dentists and orthodontists from
start to finish using SmileDirectClub’s pioneering teledentistry
platform.
“We are excited to extend the SmileDirectClub
program to our customers for a cost-effective orthodontia option,” said
Dominion President Mike Davis. “Dominion continues to support
teledentistry models, including remote orthodontic care, for increased
customer convenience, savings and emphasis on preventive care.”
