Why BlueDental?
BlueDental PPO plans are rich in benefits and feature a large and growing network of dentists throughout Florida and nationwide. Our local expertise ensures that our networks include only fully credentialed, preferred providers.
A better standard of dental care for your employees
Poor oral health has been shown to hurt workforce participation, so a good dental plan should be an essential part of your employees’ benefits package. According to the National Institutes of Health, over two-thirds of adults reported lost work or school hours because of unplanned dental visits.1 BlueDental PPO plans include two annual dental checkups at no cost. By taking advantage of this important benefit, your employees can lower the risk of any potential dental issue becoming painful and in need of costly treatment.
Better health and cost savings through medical-dental integration
As a health and dental insurer, we’re uniquely qualified to offer your employees the benefits of medical-dental integration. Through our Oral Health for Overall HealthSM program, employees with eligible medical conditions automatically receive additional dental benefits—at no extra cost—that have been shown to improve the health of those who have certain medical conditions affected by oral health and to significantly lower the medical expenses associated with these conditions.2 Better overall health results in increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, and lower medical and dental costs for you and your employees.
Top-ranked effective discounts on PPO plans
BlueDental ChoiceSM and ChoiceSM Copayment PPO plans feature top-rated effective discounts in Florida.3 Effective discounts reflect the actual savings that our members realize. Members save more by visiting in-network dentists, and effective discounts reflect the total realized savings. When more people choose to get care in-network, everyone saves more money.
Benefits go further with Maximum Rollover
Our Maximum Rollover program lets your employees save a portion of unused benefit dollars in a given year for use in future years. Enrollment is automatic, and rollover dollars do not expire. Maximum Rollover provides your employees with extra incentive—and funds—to practice preventive care and improve their overall health.
A strong local presence
We maintain offices and walk-in centers throughout the state. Your employees can expect convenient, responsive support in person, by phone, or online—they can also access their dental benefits anytime through their Florida Blue account online or on our mobile app. We consistently exceed industry standards for responsiveness, first-call resolution, and claims accuracy and turnaround time.
One carrier for health and dental benefits
A benefits package that includes our health and dental plans provides you with the convenience of joint billing and account management.
