Overview and history

The company was created by two dentists, Marilyn Orcharton and Stephen Noar, in 1986. They created a system that aimed to simplify administration within the dental practice.[2]

Denplan payment plans, provided by Simplyhealth Professionals, allow dentists to charge their patients[3] a fixed monthly fee that provides them with regular examinations and treatment. In addition to personal dental payment plans, Simplyhealth also provides corporate dental cover for employee benefit schemes[4] and Denplan pupil cover for Schools.[5]

In 2007, the company launched Denplan Pet Health Plans, offering a similar model to the dental payment plans, to the veterinary market. Pet owners can spread the cost of their pets' preventive care such as flea and worm treatment, vaccinations and regular health checks by paying a monthly Direct Debit.

On 20 December 2011, Denplan announced that it had been sold to Simplyhealth.

In April 2014 Denplan announced the acquisition of Practice Plan for Vets.

On 15 February 2017, Denplan announced its rebrand to Simplyhealth Professionals.
