ODA MEMBERSHIP PAYS OFF: EXCLUSIVE SAVINGS THAT SUPPORT YOUR PRACTICE
As the ODA Services Corp. chair and a proud ODA member, I want to make sure that all dentists know about the discounts and savings available to ODA members through our endorsed products and services.
The ODA Services Corp. Board thoroughly researches, evaluates, and tests products and services that may benefit dentists before granting an endorsement. The ODA Services Corp. currently endorses 21 products and services. Most of our endorsed products entitle ODA members to exclusive premium discounts.
I would like to tell you about one of our most popular products: OhioDDS. This free member-only Group Purchasing Organization allows ODA members exclusive access to discounted pricing on dental supplies, equipment and services.
We partner with three strong vendors to provide OhioDDS participants with savings and discounts: Safco Dental, Kettenbach Manufacturing and Cintas Corporation.
OhioDDS members receive these guaranteed savings through Safco Dental:
- 10% Savings on National Brand products.
- 30% Savings on Safco Brand products.
A meaningful portion of these savings are delivered as credits for future orders. Even if the upfront price looks similar to other suppliers, you’re earning money back to spend later, which reduces your overall supply costs over time. Participation in OhioDDS helps strengthen the ODA and its advocacy efforts across Ohio. ODA-supported programs also help support the association’s ability to advocate on issues impacting dentists, patients, insurance reform and the future of the profession.
Purchasing even just a few products through Safco can help save your practice money and support the ODA. Members that use Safco Dental for even some of their regular purchases are seeing an average savings of 16% from their current supplier. OhioDDS can help keep your overhead costs low.
Exclusive savings are also available through Cintas and Kettenbach. Cintas provides first aid and safety products, uniform rentals and facility services. Kettenbach provides preventive and restorative consumables along with sleep dentistry and TMJ/TMD products.
ODA members can sign up for OhioDDS at no charge or obligation to order products. You can fill out an online registration form and learn more about OhioDDS by clicking here.
Another popular endorsed product is the ODA Wellness Trust, which provides health benefits to ODA members, their families and their staff. Currently, the ODA Wellness Trust provides health benefits to over 3,100 enrollees.
The ODA Wellness Trust works to keep rates as low as possible while providing the type of high quality, broad-based coverage subscribers deserve. We offer a wide variety of benefit options, a large network of doctors and hospitals, and hands-on administrative support.
A few other examples of how you can save money through ODA Services Corp.’s endorsed products and discounts include:
- Credit card processing through Best Card. The average dental practice saves $6,671 annually, or 28%, on processing fees.
- Dental websites, marketing and patient communications through ProSites. ODA members receive up to 70% off.
- Managed IT, cybersecurity and HIPAA support through 3C Technology Solutions. Members receive a free technology and compliance assessment, plus one hour of on-site support per month under a managed services agreement (valued at $1,000).
- Practice financing and mortgage loans through Huntington. Members receive no origination fees (excluding SBA loans), a $500 closing cost discount, and up to 100% financing under $1 million for mortgage loans.
In addition to these savings, when you use an ODA Services Corp.-endorsed product, you have access to excellent customer service and support. Our ODA Services Corp. staff are available by phone or email to answer questions about endorsed products. They are licensed, salaried insurance professionals who do not earn commissions — so their focus is always on what’s best for ODA members. They can even work directly with endorsed partners on your behalf.
By supporting endorsed programs like OhioDDS and the ODA Wellness Trust, members are not only helping their own practices, but they are also helping advocacy, education, leadership and the future of dentistry across the state of Ohio.
