Dow Jones Description

We are the largest company in the United States focused exclusively on offering dental and vision benefit plans. We began offering dental benefits in Florida in 1978 and now provide dental and vision benefit plans to approximately 14,000 employer groups and 4.8 million members, primarily in the South and Midwest. We have developed a broad suite of products, extensive provider networks and effective distribution channels to reach large employers, mid- and small-sized employers, government programs and individuals. Our dental benefit plans cover procedures such as examinations, cleanings, cavity fillings and crowns. Our vision benefit plans cover comprehensive eye examinations and glasses or contact lenses. We offer both dental and vision benefit plans because they are sold through the same distribution channels, have a common operating platform and exhibit similar financial characteristics, such as low underwriting volatility, absence of catastrophic losses and short periods between the submission and resolution of claims. Due to the rising costs of health care, employees are being required to pay more of their dental and vision benefit plan premiums. Although employers continue to function as gatekeepers, employees are demanding a broader range of products that are differentiated by affordability, benefits offered and provider network size. ...
