A report released by the national business and technology consulting firm, West Monroe, indicates health insurers are more interested in offering dental benefits than they were two years ago. The report,“Convergence of Dental and Health Insurance Accelerates,” surveyed 106 executives of commercial and government dental and health plans across the country.
The survey is a follow-up of the company’s 2018 report. According to the new survey, the percentage of health insurers offering dental insurance products has risen from 68% in 2018 to 80% today, and the percentage offering adult dental benefits has more than doubled to 48%—clear evidence of an accelerating shift toward convergence.
