EASEy Start Team helps new employer groups transition to Assurant Employee Benefits’ dental coverage
People with dental insurance are more likely than those without coverage to seek regular dental care, according to a report from the Surgeon General. And those with new dental coverage can be eager to make use of it, often as soon as a policy becomes effective, which means insurance companies must have accurate, up-to-date records on their new insureds in place in a timely manner. To help ensure this, Assurant Employee Benefits has established a team that is dedicated exclusively to assisting new employee groups successfully transition to Assurant Employee Benefits’ group dental coverage.
Members of Assurant Employee Benefits’ EASEy Start Team are available to answer questions regarding plan benefits and verify coverage for both employer groups and dental offices within the first 90 days of a dental policy’s start date.
