It’s important for members to understand their insurance provider contracts before signing so that they can decide what is best for the members and their patients, as well as to avoid unpleasant surprises in the future. The ADA offers a free contract analysis service that provides members with a plain-language explanation of the insurance provider contract terms to allow them to make informed and independent decisions on the merits of the contract. The analysis is not a substitute for legal advice. The service also provides analysis of certain dental management service organization agreements. WSDA members can utilize the service at no charge by submitting an unsigned contract and an analysis request to info@wsda.org.

Submit a Contract for Analysis

To learn more about the Contract Analysis Service, and for other dental insurance contract resources, go to the  Support on Dental Insurance Contract Issues page on ADA's website.

The ADA also offers resources to help members  navigate employment-related contracts such as an  e-book on employment agreements and articles on getting the contract you deserve, compensation basics, negotiating your salary, and general negotiating tips. Further resources related to  DSO contracts are also available.
