Good oral health is critical to good overall physical health. But it’s easy and common for people to put off scheduling their routine covered dentist visits. Skipping biannual dental checkups and cleanings can lead to poor oral health and poor overall health outcomes—and higher costs for both you and your employees.
Regular dental checkups protect more than just teeth and gums. Poor dental care and gum disease have been linked to several chronic conditions, including diabetes, heart disease and stroke. For people who are pregnant, poor oral health has been associated with premature births and low birth weight.
We’ve updated our dental flyer to help your employees learn more about dental care, their coverage and how to make the most of their benefits. The flyer covers:
- The importance of dental care
- What’s covered at no out-of-pocket cost
- How to find an in-network dentist and schedule an appointment
- How to learn more about dental benefits
Please share this dental flyer with your enrolled employees today.
We strive to make dental coverage comprehensive, flexible and affordable for you and your and employees because our dental and medical plans work together to help people live healthier lives. Now, when employees are signed into their Asuris account, they have access to our expanded national and local dental networks using a new provider search tool on asurisdental.com. And they’re receiving new, easier-to-read EOBs—all while receiving the same exceptional dental customer service they’ve always had, fully integrated with medical customer service.
If you’re not currently offering Asuris dental coverage, discover what a better standard of care can offer. Our plans feature more options with rich benefits and comprehensive coverage, affordable coinsurance on basic and major services, and no out-of-pocket expenses for in-network preventive services. And with medical-dental integration, employees with eligible medical conditions may receive additional dental cleanings each plan year at no extra cost.
In addition, there are even more coverage options to choose from:
- Voluntary employee-paid plans allow you to offer your employees access to comprehensive dental benefits on our expanded networks at little to no cost.
- Dual Option (available for groups of 51+) enables you to offer employees choice between multiple plans so they can choose the best fit for their needs and budget.
- Orthodontia coverage is available for groups with 10+ employees enrolled in dental benefits.
All of this comes with the convenience of joint medical and dental billing and account management.
