Why Dollar Based Dental May Create Reserve Opportunities

Dollar Based Dental is a self-funded dental plan model that gives employers greater control over plan design and funding. Instead of paying a fixed fully insured premium where unused premium remains with the carrier, a self-funded approach may allow the employer to retain unused claim dollars, depending on plan structure and funding results.

Employers can customize the plan design.

Dental costs are generally more predictable than medical costs.

Annual maximums help create clear claim exposure limits.

Employer funding can be aligned with actual plan performance.

Unused funds may create reserve opportunities depending on plan structure.
