National Market Presence
National Market Footprint
| State | Market Share | Premium Written | Estimated Members |
|---|---|---|---|
| NV | 0.74% | $94.99M | 15.4K |
| OK | 0.62% | $93.8M | 16.1K |
| National Total | — | $188.75M | 31.5K |
Liberty Dental Plan Group's premium is concentrated in 2 states, with a combined premium of $188.75M and an Estimated Total Members base of 31.5K. This concentration signals a targeted regional strategy rather than a nationwide footprint. For provider contracting, the payer's commercial leverage will be strongest in Nevada and Oklahoma where operations and membership are centered, so local market benchmarking and state-specific reimbursement strategies will be most effective.
Given the modest national premium and concentrated membership, multi-state provider groups should prioritize negotiations and credentialing in NV and OK to capture the majority of the payer's exposure, rather than pursuing a uniform national contract approach.
State-by-State Market Position
Liberty Dental Plan Group shows its strongest presence in the Western and South Central regions, with Nevada representing the West and Oklahoma representing the South Central area. Neither the Northeast, Midwest, nor Southeast appear prominently in this payer's footprint. The top states by premium are NV and OK, together representing the entirety of reported premium and membership, which underscores a bi-state concentration rather than broad regional diffusion.
For multi-state provider groups, this distribution implies that contracting and network strategies should be localized: concentrate administrative and negotiation resources in NV and OK to maximize access to the payer's 31.5K members and $188.75M in premium. National scale advantages are limited given the payer's focused geographic exposure.

| Under 6 | 943 | 921 | 1864 |
| 6–18 | 2452 | 2535 | 4987 |
| 19–25 | 1302 | 1579 | 2881 |
| 26–34 | 2038 | 1969 | 4007 |
| 35–44 | 2347 | 2341 | 4688 |

| 55–64 | 2187 | 2181 | 4368 |

Nationally, the largest age bands for LIBERTY DENTAL PLAN GRP are 6–18 (4,987 members), 35–44 (4,688), and 55–64 (4,368), indicating a strong presence among children, adolescents, and working-age adults. The under-6 and 19–25 bands are smaller but still significant, while the 65+ population is relatively modest, reflecting a limited focus on senior dental coverage.
Both Nevada and Oklahoma show similar demographic distributions, with no state skewing dramatically older or younger. Oklahoma has a slightly higher proportion of seniors (65–74 and 75+) compared to Nevada, but the difference is not pronounced. The overall profile suggests a balanced mix of pediatric and adult members, with a moderate senior presence.
Estimated Members by State
LIBERTY DENTAL PLAN GRP's estimated membership is split between two states: Oklahoma with 16,068 members and Nevada with 15,434 members. This near-even distribution reflects the payer's dual-state focus, with both states contributing substantially to the national total of 31,502 estimated members.
Despite Nevada having a slightly higher market share (0.74 vs. 0.62), Oklahoma edges out Nevada in total estimated members, likely due to differences in population size and plan enrollment patterns. For providers, this means that both states represent significant opportunities for patient volume, and network participation in either state can yield access to a large segment of LIBERTY DENTAL PLAN GRP's insured population.
