This review is from: Dental Benefits: A Guide To Dental PPOs, HMOs and Other Managed Plans (Paperback)

I first met Dr. Mayes during one of my visits to USA, and I had the honor to get in touch with his book "Dental Benefits" when it was still being prepared in his office in Hershey,PA. That time he told me the book will focus also the Dental PPOs, considering the exploding grow on the last years. When finally the book came published, I could confirm not only that PPOs were there, but the were many other interesting subjects related to all the business of Dental Plan in USA. The book is so completed that we invited Dr. mayes to visit Brazil and share your temendous knowledge and experience in Dental Benefits with our local market key executives. The firt Seminar of Dental Plans Management took place at American Chambers of Commerce of São Paulo, 26th and 27th of September 2002 and his book "Dental Benefits" were included for each participant of the Seminar. Since then the wook is largely used for many people, including the Agencia Nacional de Saúde Suplementar(ANS), the federal government agency for dental and health plans regulation. A significant part of Dr. Mayes book was also translated and used by ANS in the Referral Material in their first publication on Dental Plans - "Planos Odontológicos: Uma Abordagem Economica no Contexto Regulatório".
This and many other facts prove that Dr. Mayes book is not applicable for the "American Dental Benefits" , but for "World Dental Benefits" . Certainly it has a great value for the brazilian Dental Market at the present "growing" moment.
