Virginia dental membership plans: official sources
Every body below sets or enforces rules that can touch a practice-owned membership plan in Virginia. We link to them and describe what each one oversees. We do not interpret what any rule requires — that is your attorney's job, and this page is built to make their work faster.

Questions to take to your attorney
- 01Is a practice-owned membership plan, sold by my practice to my own patients, treated differently in Virginia than a third-party discount plan?
- 02Does Virginia require any registration, filing or disclosure for the plan structure I have in mind?
- 03What language does my membership agreement need for renewal, cancellation and refunds?
- 04Are there restrictions on how I can advertise the plan, its savings or its pricing?
- 05Are there rules about how I hold or account for prepaid membership fees?
- 06Does anything change if I offer the plan to patients who live in a neighbouring state?
