Plan Design That Flexes Around You

Picture a plan built around how you want to run your business. Group dental and vision can be designed to match your company’s philosophy and budget — choose from three common structures:

  • Employer-Paid (Fully Insured): The company covers 100% of premiums for employees. The most attractive option for recruiting and retention — especially competitive in industries where benefits differentiate employers.
  • Contributory (Shared Cost): The employer pays a percentage (typically 50–75%) and employees cover the remainder through pre-tax payroll deduction. This balances employer expense with employee buy-in.
  • Voluntary (Employee-Paid): The employer offers group rates with no contribution to premiums. Employees pay 100% through payroll deduction, often at rates 20–40% below what they’d find individually. Zero cost to the employer, maximum value to the employee.

Employee Cost-Sharing & Tax Advantages

Whatever model you choose, employee contributions are made through pre-tax payroll deduction under Section 125 (Cafeteria Plan) of the Internal Revenue Code. This means employees save on FICA taxes, and employers save on payroll taxes too. A well-designed cost-sharing strategy keeps premiums manageable for both parties while delivering meaningful coverage.

Typical employee contributions range from $15–$40/month for dental and $5–$15/month for vision depending on the plan tier and employer subsidy level. Spouse and dependent coverage is also available at group rates.

One Simple Package With Your Health Plan

Imagine fewer invoices, fewer logins, and one renewal to keep track of. Many of our carrier partners offer integrated medical, dental, and vision packages that simplify administration and lower your costs. When you bundle group health with dental and vision through the same carrier, you typically enjoy:

  • Single billing platform — one invoice, one payment, one reconciliation
  • Unified member portal — employees manage all benefits in one place
  • Combined eligibility file — streamlined enrollment and termination reporting
  • Lower combined premiums — carriers offer multi-line discounts for bundled plans
  • One renewal date — simplifies your annual benefits renewal process

Prefer separate carriers for each line (say, a regional dental specialist alongside a national health carrier)? We’ll handle that too. Our technology and carrier relationships support any combination — so you get exactly what works for your team.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many employees do I need to offer group dental and vision?
Most carriers require a minimum of two employees enrolled for group dental and vision plans. Some carriers offer voluntary vision plans for as few as one or two employees. Whether you have 3 employees or 300, we can find a carrier that fits your group size. There is generally no medical underwriting for dental and vision plans with fewer than 10 employees.
Can we offer dental without vision, or vision without dental?
Absolutely. You can offer dental only, vision only, or both. Many carriers offer stand-alone dental and stand-alone vision plans in addition to bundled options. We’ll help you decide based on your employee demographics, budget, and what your competitors in your industry are offering.
Is there a waiting period before employees can use dental and vision benefits?
Waiting periods vary by carrier and plan type. Many dental PPO plans have no waiting period for preventive care (cleanings, exams), with a 6–12 month waiting period for major services like crowns or bridges. DHMO plans typically have no waiting periods at all. Vision plans generally have no waiting period for annual exams. We can help you select a plan design with waiting periods that align with your company’s philosophy.
