Group
Dental Insurance Plans
Offering Group Dental
Insurance Benefits to
your employees makes
economic Sense
A frequently overlooked
reason for employee
absences or poor work
performance is dental
disease or discomfort.
And as every human
resources professional
knows, days lost can
mean money lost. In
addition to promoting
oral health, a quality
dental benefits plan can
aid in the recruitment
and retention of
employees. Dental
benefits are
consistently cited as
one of the most sought
after employee benefits.
Ask yourself the
following questions
before selecting a new
dental insurance plan:
|
|
1.
|
Will employees
retain the
freedom to
choose their own
dentists? |
|
2.
|
Is the type of
treatment
determined by
the patient and
the dentist? |
|
3.
|
Does the plan
cover
diagnostic,
preventive and
emergency
services? Will
it cover
preventive
services such as
sealants and
fluoride
treatments,
which may save
patients money
in the future?
Will it provide
for full-mouth
x-rays? |
|
4.
|
What type of
routine dental
care is covered?
Does the plan
cover crowns and
bridges, braces,
root canals,
oral surgery and
treatment of
periodontal
diseases. |
|
5.
|
What major
dental care is
covered? Does
the plan cover
dentures,
implants or
treatment for
TMJ disorders? |
|
6.
|
Will the plan
allow for
referrals to
specialists? If
so, will the
dentist be
limited to a
list of
specialists from
which to choose? |
|
7.
|
How does the
plan provide for
emergency
treatment? What
provisions are
made for
emergency care
when you are
away from home? |
There are numerous
models of dental plans.
In general, they can be
divided into two
categories:
fee-for-service and
managed care.
Fee-for-Service
Dental Insurance Plans
are typically
freedom-of-choice
arrangements under which
a dentist is paid for
each service rendered
according to the fees
established by the
dentist.
Managed Care Dental
Insurance Plans are
cost containment systems
that direct the
utilization of health
care by a) restricting
the type, level and
frequency of treatment;
b) limiting the access
to care; and c)
controlling the level of
reimbursement for
services.
