Enhanced Offering Delivers More Providers, Attractive Discounts, Greater
Flexibility and Plan Customization
NEW YORK–(Business Wire)–
Nippon Life Benefits, a leading provider of employee benefits, today announced a
major expansion of its dental product.
“Our expanded dental product is another terrific reason to choose Nippon Life
Benefits,” said Chief Executive Officer and President Akira Hosoda. “Our dental
product now provides greater value to large and small employers by offering an
expanded network, better pricing and more flexibility to design programs to fit
a specific need. Our new dental product is delivered with the same level of
exceptional service that is consistent with our Japanese tradition of caring and
respecting each individual.”
Nippon Life Benefits is the U.S. subsidiary of Nippon Life Insurance Company,
one of the world`s largest mutual life insurance companies. Nippon Life Benefits
offers health, dental, and other group insurance solutions to companies in the
U.S. and is rated A- (Excellent) by AM Best for financial strength in 2009.
“Nippon Life Benefits understands the enormous pressure on employers to manage
and contain the soaring cost of healthcare,” said Chief Operating Officer Jerry
Patterson. “Our new dental plans are designed not only to help companies meet a
specific price point, but also deliver a comprehensive package of dental
benefits that helps attract and retain the talented employees they need to
succeed.”
Dental is an increasingly important benefit to employers. Dental coverage is the
second most requested benefit after medical, according to the U.S. Surgeon
General. Good dental care also plays a role in good overall health. Studies show
a clear link between oral health and overall health. According to the American
Dental Hygienists` Association, every $1 spent on preventive dental care saves
$8 to $50 in future treatments.
A Choice of Four Plans
Nippon Life Benefits is offering a choice of four dental programs: Premium Plus,
Premium, Advantage and Basic. Larger employers can customize a plan that best
fits their needs, and have the option of either a voluntary or contributory
plan. A rollover benefit is available, with a full range of deductibles,
co-insurance and maximums. Multi-product and stand-alone discounts are also
available.
“Dental plans from Nippon Life Benefits stretch benefit dollars, while offering
comprehensive coverage delivered with personalized service and care that is the
tradition of our company,” Patterson said. “Expanded dental coverage from Nippon
Life Benefits is an excellent choice for companies that want value, quality and
outstanding care.”
