Dental Benefits Environment Research & Risk Dental Plan Design Changing Benefits Objectives & Demands Dental Standards & Market Practice Do the dental plans you recommend recognize and incorporate these trends? 19 19 Changing Benefits Objectives & Demands Benefits Objectives and Demands Employers Creating a Culture of Health and Responsibility While companies remain concerned with the rising cost of healthcare coverage, at a broader, more holistic level, they are also focusing on how to encourage employees to behave in ways that help them lead healthier lives. WELLNESS PROGRAMS Employers offer wellness programs 2005 2008 2005 Programs 27% 33% 2008 Programs More Employees Seek Advice and Guidance at the Workplace 43% of employees want access to benefits advisors at the workplace, and are interested in professional advice regarding critical decisions about their benefits (up from 33% of employees in 2006). Source: 7th Annual MetLife Study of Employee Benefits Trends 20 Risk Is Playing a More Important Role inResearch & Risk Dental Plan Design Research has suggested a relationship between oral and overall health, and has associated periodontal disease with conditions such as preterm births1, diabetes2, and coronary heart disease3. However, studies have suggested additional relationships between oral and overall health for which further research is underway: People taking Antidepressants or Cancer Patients undergoing radiation — In some cases antidepressants and radiation may cause Xerostomia (dry mouth), which can compromise oral health.4,5 Women taking Bisphosphonates for Osteoporosis (Injectable) — Bisphosphonates may contribute to osteonecrosis of the jaw in some cases6 People in need of organ transplants — One study suggests they may have a better chance for success of the transplant if their oral health is good7 (a link between chronic periodontitis and the risk for rejection) (1) Khader YS, Ta’ani Q.

It’s estimated 35% of adults have periodontal disease1, and up to 13% have moderate or severe periodontal disease2. Q: and what percent is attributed to smoking?

Research suggests there is a two-way connection between diabetes and periodontal disease – not only are diabetics more susceptible (to periodontal disease), but the presence (of perio disease) may also make glycemic control more difficult.2 (1) Center for Disease Control, National Diabetes Fact Sheet, 2007 (2) Department of Health and Human Services, “Working Together to Manage Diabetes”, 2007 23 Do you know?

So A Carrier Can: Analyze and challenge plan designs – Look deeper than 100/80/50 and question where services are allocated – Understand limitations, exclusions, contract language — and ask questions! Understand what adds value to a plan and what is questionable Educate your clients on “why change plans” Present the best plans and alternatives to meet your customers’ unique needs 26 Questions? 27
