High dental costs stoke voluntary coverage market

Article Abstract:

Most large companies offer dental insurance as an employee benefit, often with the employee paying part of the premiums. If coverage is voluntary, it may be necessary to require a minimum number of participants. Also, individuals including self-employed persons are demanding dental insurance, and they may not want preferred providers. The agent should exercise care in choosing a dental care insurance product, and consider those with less comprehensive coverage.
