Choosing a Dental Insurance Plan
The Illinois State Dental Society has developed the Dental Benefits Plan Evaluation Form
for Employers to assist companies and employee benefits managers in selecting a dental plan for their employees.
Since every employer is attempting to control the costs of providing employee benefits, it becomes even
more important that the benefit plans selected for your employees offer the highest possible level of
care while still balancing costs.
The Evaluation Form
equips the benefits manager with a series of important questions that should be
asked of any insurance company or managed care organization presenting a dental plan proposal for your
consideration. Each question includes a background statement that explains the rationale on why the question
is important and should be asked.
Since the passage of Public Act 91-0355, also known as The Dental Care Patient Protection Act,
effective January 1, 2000, employers and employees who are covered, or are considering joining managed
care dental plans, are now allowed to obtain additional information about the dental plan’s benefits and
the operations of the managed care company.
