Massachusetts Group Dental Insurance - News, Developments and CommentaryNext to the medical plan, your group dental plan is your most expensive group employee benefit. In this page we'll occasionally post, by date with most recent postings at the top, items about developments in dental plans. Because dental insurance is the "poor sister" of health insurance, it gets a lot less attention. But in fact, dental is not only one of the most appreciated employee benefits, it can ultimately help lower health care costs. Good dental care is ever-more-frequently being shown to reduce the cost of health care. The infections in your gums (and a HUGE number of your employees have them without realizing it) can lead to heart disease and other very expensive medical conditions. Granted, most employers in Massachusetts have fewer than 50 employees, so they don't benefit directly when their employees are healthy and use fewer services... but if enough people take advantage of dental care, we should eventually see a reduction the rate of medical care cost increases. But in the meantime, your employees LOVE dental insurance. So we'll cover how to get the most bang for your dental buck. We'll talk about how to restructure the financing of your plan. How to combine private services with carrier plans. How to totally realign the benefits you offer to achieve sometimes stunningly lower costs.
