Dental/Vision Plans
We can offer dental and vision through employer groups often with a bundled discount if other benefit products are purchased. We can also offer a stand-alone plan for individuals and families.
Dental Plans
You have many options to decide what coverage you need. There are DPPO’s, DHMO’s, Indemnity Plans, and Discount Plans that give you access to specific networks and save you money with negotiated rates. Some plans have waiting periods, while others increase coverage benefits over a 3-yearperiod, have roll-over amounts from year to year, as well as orthodontia or implant benefits. All dental plans have an annual maximum the plan will pay. The higher the maximum benefit, the more the premium

Vision Plans
Vision insurance is generally supplemental to other types of medical insurance policies. Stand-alone Vision Plans help offset the costs of routine checkups, frames, lenses and contacts that are prescribed. There are also discounts for other in-network covered services and on lasik at participating providers.

Dental and Vision Care Riders
Dental and vision care can also be purchased as an add-on, also known as a rider with many health care policies. This is generally less expensive than purchasing a separate dental and vision plan, but may offer slightly less coverage.
Employer groups can offer dental and vision plans along with group life and disability to round out their benefit package for their employees. They can be contributory (employer helps pay some of the cost) or voluntary(employee pays entire cost). When these benefits are bundled together we can typically shop them and get better premiums.
