  • This program is not insurance. (Learn more)
  • On-the-spot savings, with no referrals, no waiting periods, no claims to file
  • Employees will generally save on preventive, basic, and major dental services
  • More than 76,000* available dental practice locations to choose from, through the Aetna Dental Access® network
  • Employees may use the program as many times as they want - no limits!
  • In addition to dental care, employees enjoy discounts on vision, fitness, hearing and more!
Additional Features:
  • Available standalone, or along with an Aetna medical plan. Keep in mind: employees cannot enroll in both an Aetna dental plan and Vital Savings by Aetna.
  • Single and family rates available.
  • Choose between our direct bill and payroll deduction options:

    • Eliminate paperwork with our direct bill option

      This Vital Savings by Aetna discount program eliminates paperwork and administration when Aetna direct bills your members. There are no monthly premiums to administer — your members pay fees directly to Aetna. There are no claims to file or to pay. The discount program puts your employees, retirees and their families in charge. They present their discount card at the time of service and pay the provider the discounted fee.


    • Enjoy potential tax advantages with our group bill (payroll deduction) option

      When group billed, the Vital Savings by Aetna discount program may fall under Section 125 “Cafeteria Plans.” Check with your tax advisor to see whether you can structure the Vital Savings by Aetna program so that employees can pay the program’s fee through pre-tax payroll deduction.
