Behind health insurance, dental benefits are employees’ top priority.

Private Exchanges
Private health exchanges are often run by insurance brokerages, which means buyers and sellers work together to create efficiency. This can work to your small business’ advantage.
Premiums vs. Deductibles
A dental premium is the amount you pay to keep the policy in force. The deductible is the amount you pay on any given claim. The lower the deductible, the higher your premium.
Employee Wellness
Assess the dental health of your employees. With a healthier staff, you can decrease the premium by offering a plan with a higher deductible.
No matter which route you choose, encourage your team to use their benefits. It can improve their oral and overall health and your bottom line.
