In this episode of the Nifty Thrifty Podcast, Dr. Glenn Vo sits down with Kyle Wallace, an Insurance Advisor from Wallace Specialty Insurance Group, to discuss breaking dental news: an exciting new alternative health insurance plan that offers better coverage at a roughly 30% lower cost than traditional health insurance plans.

Watch as Kyle—who has been working with dentists for over 35 years—explains how this loosely underwritten plan requires only 2 people in the practice to participate, offers zero deductible for pre-qualified procedures when working with a care coordinator, and is expected to have around 85% of applicants qualifying.

Key Highlights:

The new alternative health insurance plan emerged as a solution to small practices' difficulties after the Affordable Care Act changed insurance requirements and options.

It is priced at roughly 30% below traditional ACA health plans, providing significant cost savings for dental practices.

Unlike traditional plans with strict participation requirements, this program only needs 2 people in the practice to join.

When working with a care coordinator, the plan offers zero deductible for pre-qualified procedures or surgeries.

While loosely underwritten, around 85% of applicants are expected to qualify based on Kyle's prior testing.

Kyle's team can provide personalized support, explain the program in detail, answer questions, and guide dental practices through the sign-up process. There's no obligation to enroll—practices can simply check if they qualify and compare costs.
