FAQ'S
How would a dental plan be implemented for my group?
Employees would need to follow the same guidelines in setting up a group medical plan.
My employees are complaining that their dental plan does not cover enough of their dental expenses. Why are my employees paying so much out-of-pocket for dental care?
The cost of dental care is very expensive. Dentists who are not contracted with the insurance carriers can charge retail prices, which translates to a higher out-of-pocket cost. It is critical to stay within the network to contain costs and to know the cost of the procedures before receiving treatment. Typically, an employee spends $300-$500 in annual premium and receives $1,500-$2,000 in dental benefits. By any standard, this is a very attractive proposition.
Would this policy cover the cost of braces for my employee?
When orthodontia coverage is purchased, typically, orthodontia will only cover children under the age of 19. However, some group dental plans may cover adults and children. Both have a lifetime maximum and an annual deductible.
