The Direct Reimbursement (DR) plan is a self-funded dental insurance benefit plan that reimburses patients on actual dental care. It is not based on the type of treatment received. Patients have complete freedom in choosing a dentist. Employers are responsible for paying a percentage of the actual treatment costs, but they do not have to pay a monthly premium for employees who do not need a profit. In addition the employer is free of any responsibility to take a decision on previous planning options or mode of treatment by sponsorship. Direct reimbursement dental insurance plans are the preferred method of the American Dental Association for dental coverage.
