Aspen Dental announces free Aspen Dental Savings Plan enrollment in November and expanded benefits for VFW members
The Aspen Group (TAG) today announced new initiatives designed to make dental care more accessible and affordable for veterans, building on its five-year, $100 million commitment to expand access to care for underserved patients.
As part of this commitment, Aspen Dental is offering veterans free enrollment in the Aspen Dental Savings Plan during the month of November and expanding benefits through its relationship with the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW). Together, these efforts build on Aspen Dental’s longstanding service to veterans and create more ways for them to access care throughout the year.
“Today’s announcements double down on a commitment we’ve made from day one: breaking down barriers and making care more accessible and affordable,” said Bob Fontana, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of The Aspen Group. “We’re putting the reach of Aspen Dental and the strength of our partnerships to work to give veterans more places to get care, more help with the cost, and more opportunities to get the treatment they need.”
Throughout November, veterans can enroll in the Aspen Dental Savings Plan at no cost for the first year, with the standard $49 annual enrollment fee waived. Subsequent annual renewals are available at $29 after the first year. This offer coincides with Aspen Dental’s Day of Service on Nov. 7 and reflects TAG’s ongoing work to break down the barriers that often prevent veterans from receiving the care they need.
Members may save an average of more than 25% on select dental services and receive free exams and X-rays, subject to plan terms and conditions. The plan has no waiting periods, annual maximums, or exclusions based on age or preexisting conditions.
As the VFW’s official dental provider, Aspen Dental offers VFW members and their eligible family members access to the Aspen Dental Savings Plan at a discounted annual rate of $29.
That group also received early access to the free enrollment offer ahead of its November availability to all veterans, as well as advance scheduling access for Aspen Dental’s annual Day of Service on Nov. 7.
“Our members served this country, and it’s our job to make sure they have access to the care they earned and deserve,” said Dan West, VFW adjutant general of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. “Thanks to TAG, VFW members and their families get a deeper discount and first access to scheduling, right alongside the broader access Aspen Dental is providing veterans everywhere.”
On Aspen Dental’s annual Day of Service on Nov. 7, more than 550 offices will provide free dental care to veterans nationwide. ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers will participate for the first time, pledging up to $1 million in full-arch treatment for referred veterans.
TAG marked the announcement at its Chicago headquarters, where team members joined VFW leaders to assemble hygiene kits for veterans receiving care on the Day of Service.
Since 2014, Aspen Dental’s Day of Service has served more than 30,000 veterans and delivered over $28 million in donated dentistry.
