Dental Plans & Programs

Choices range from PPO-style and copay options to prepaid plans that work like a Dental Health Maintenance Organization (DHMO).

  • Lower cost copayment dental plans that provide the value and network coverage of a PPO dental plan with the predictability of copayments for all in-network services.
  • Cost-effective pre-paid dental plans for employers with four or more employees. These plans emphasized regular cleanings and preventive services while providing an extensive network of dentists in Florida.

Networks are comprised of independently contracted dentists.

FAQ

Group Health Insurance

A “Group Health Plan” (GHP) is health insurance offered by an employer, union, or association to its members while they are still working. GHP coverage is based on current employment. [Group Health Insurance]

Generally, your business won’t qualify for group coverage if you run it yourself and have no employees or are self-employed. However, you can purchase qualified health coverage through the Marketplace for individuals and families. [Group Health Insurance]

Group health insurance has several pros, such as tax advantages, employee familiarity, and the ability to boost retention. However, overall cost and lack of flexibility can be downsides for employers. [Group Health Insurance]

Coverage can only be allowed if a group’s premium is paid by the due date or can end retroactively to the last paid premium date. Employees who have individual or family coverage through a state exchange (such as Covered California) could be declined ACA-compliant health insurance under an employer-sponsored plan. [Group Health Insurance]

Group health premiums are split between the employer and participating employees. Employees can add family members and dependents to group plans for an additional cost. Enrolled employees pay a monthly premium to maintain medical coverage, generally on a pre-tax basis from their paycheck. [Group Health Insurance]

Typically, a temporary employee is not eligible for coverage in a group health policy. Group health policies are usually designed for permanent and full-time employees, including a business owner or partner. [Group Health Insurance]

Individual plans offer broader, more personalized coverage and portability, while group plans provide predictable, employer-managed benefits. [Group Health Insurance]

Insured members often receive certificates of insurance as proof of coverage. If your company offers group term life insurance, you may be unable to “take it with you” if you change jobs. Employer-provided group term life insurance is not always a portable benefit. [Group Health Insurance]

For group health coverage, premiums are calculated for each employee who enrolls in the plan (plus the cost to add a spouse or dependents, if applicable). Then, all of those individual premiums are added together to get the group’s total premium. [Group Health Insurance]

HMO plans typically have lower monthly premiums. You can also expect to pay less out of pocket. PPOs tend to have higher monthly premiums in exchange for the flexibility to use providers in and out of the network without a referral. Out-of-pocket medical costs can also run higher with a PPO plan. [Group Health Insurance]
