Important Broker Updates from The Dental Care Plus Group and DentaQuest!
The Dental Care Plus Group/DentaQuest has released a number of updates regarding communications, products, and additional reminders:
- Increased targeted communication
- DCPG/DentaQuest are improving the communication processes and tools used by providers and broker partners to deliver a positive experience for their members.
- Development has begun on a standardized broker reporting package which will give insight and a deep dive into the metrics brokers are most curious about. Look forward to more information coming in 2022.
- Allowing the migration of groups from HMO to PPO products
- Did you know DCPG/DentaQuest have multiple PPO options at different price points for groups who wish to move from their current HMO product?
- While HMO products are not going away, a PPO plan may be a great option for groups whose members want increased flexibility including in- and out-of-network benefits.
- Groups do not have to wait for their renewal date to migrate. They only ask for a 60-day advance notice to deliver an ideal customer experience.
- Expanding their team
- For the past six months, DCPG/DentaQuest have worked to build a dedicated support team for you and our clients.
- Recent addition of Jennifer Nevin, Account Manager and Jack Graham , Senior Sales Representative, both of whom are experienced employee benefit professionals
