Healthplex is known as "The Dental Plan Specialists." The company was established in the 1970's by dentists and other healthcare professionals who were concerned about the increasing costs of dental care. With an understanding of dentistry as well as dental insurance, Healthplex was able to develop benefit plans that effectively managed the risks associated with conventional indemnity plans. Two million subscribers later, the corporation is providing dental benefits and administrative services for insurance companies, HMOs, school districts, municipalities, welfare funds and businesses of all sizes.
