Individuals Without Dental
Insurance.
WELCOME
TO THE HO‘ALA DENTAL PROGRAM
Hawaii Family Dental Centers (HFDC) is proud to introduce
Ho‘ala, an alternative program for the dental care needs of
Hawai‘i’s people. Ho‘ala is not an insurance plan, but
rather a MEMBERSHIP
PROGRAM that enables you to receive complete dental care at
discounted rates. Ho‘ala was created especially for
individuals without dental insurance.
Convenience
for You and Your Family.
HFDC was established in 1986, and since then has grown to 10
convenient Centers statewide. HFDC
has every specialty under one roof. This means that you only
have to visit one HFDC location to meet all your dental care
needs.
What
Can You Expect by Becoming a Member?
Quality is never compromised. Ho’ala is a program that values
traditional patient-doctor relationships. You are free to choose
your own dentist from a group of highly qualified licensed
professionals.
No
Stress or Worries About Going to the Dentist.
Once you have chosen your Center and doctor, then the rest is up
to us to provide the quality, clean, comfortable, and gentle
care that you can expect.
MAKING
DENTAL CARE SIMPLE . . .
Low
Membership Fees
Because Ho’ala is not an insurance plan, there are no claim forms to
complete or billing to be done. This means cost savings that we
can pass on to you through low membership fees and low
out-of-pocket costs.
Fixed
Out-of-Pocket Costs
We offer fixed discounted rates on all
dental procedures. All discounted rates are provided to you in
advance so that you know how much you will be paying for the
procedure you receive. This means fixed out-of-pocket costs for
you and your family.
No
Annual Dollar Maximum
Insurance plans have a $600, $1000, or $1200 annual maximum. Any major
dental work such as dentures or crowns can easily exhaust the
annual benefit limit. As a member of Ho’ala, you are not
restricted to a maximum dollar amount.
No
Restrictions
Most insurance plans have restrictions
and conditions that apply mainly to large procedures. For
example, if you break a crown by accident, insurance will not
cover the replacement crown if the crown is less than five years
old. In this situation, you would have to pay for the crown at
full price. Under the Ho’ala Program, you are offered the same discounted price for your
replacement crown every time.
No
Exclusions
Crowns,
bridges, orthodontics, and cosmetic procedures are a few of the
services available to Ho’ala members.
No
Waiting Periods
With the Ho’ala Program, there are no waiting periods. You are
immediately eligible for any dental procedure.
Discount
on Orthodontics
Our comprehensive orthodontic work is offered at a 20% discount. An
average savings of $1000-1500.
Discount
on Teeth Whitening
We offer two teeth whitening programs, Nite White and BriteSmile. Ho’
ala members will receive a 10% discount on these services.
