THE BROADER BUSINESS CASE

Benefits Help Employers Compete for People.

LIMRA research finds more than 60% of workers are at least somewhat more inclined to stay with their employer because of their benefits package. Dental and vision coverage can strengthen that package with benefits employees clearly recognize and value.

Dental and Vision Coverage Options

Plan features vary considerably among carriers. We help employers compare important provisions including:

  • Preventive and diagnostic dental care, including examinations, cleanings, and X-rays
  • Basic and major dental services, such as fillings, crowns, and other restorative care
  • Orthodontic benefits, when available
  • Routine vision examinations
  • Eyeglasses, lenses, frames, and contact lens allowances
  • Provider networks, deductibles, copayments, annual maximums, and coverage limits

Employers can also consider different contribution arrangements, allowing the organization to pay all or a portion of the premium or offer coverage on an employee-paid basis.

Complementing Your Benefits Program

Dental and vision coverage can add meaningful value to an employee benefits package without requiring the same level of expense as major medical coverage. Global Advisers helps employers compare available plans and consider how these benefits fit alongside Group Health Insurance, Group Life Insurance, and Disability Insurance.
