When it comes to health benefits, more attention has always been given to medical, compared with dental and vision. And yet, there is a growing recognition that oral health is closely correlated with overall health, even though dental and vision benefits are often an afterthought.
While dental and vision benefits still don’t command either consumer or employer attention, some trends are fundamentally reshaping the market that employers should pay attention to. And some of these trends didn’t exist in the market just a few years ago, explained Tiffany Johnson, National Associate Director for dental and vision at Willis Towers Watson. She was speaking at the annual Transform Summit in Scottsdale, Arizona this week. The event is hosted annually by Skygen, a large dental and vision benefits administration company based in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, that serves 60 million members.
