The Tennessee Dental Association (TDA) has endorsed dental insurance provider Bento and will introduce the program to eight local component dental societies and more than 2,500 member dentists.
Bento's business model and platform replaces the need for employer groups, associations, and individuals to contract with a traditional insurance company. The TDA will assist Bento with promotion and also by coordinating activities across the organization's component societies.
Bento also has an app that allows patients to purchase membership plans, pay for services, receive real-time estimates, and access their dental history.
