Group Dental & Vision · Virginia

Dental and vision benefits employees actually use.

Dental and vision plans are inexpensive to offer and among the most-used benefits in any package. Blue Ridge Insurance compares group dental and vision options for Central Virginia employers, as employer-paid or voluntary plans.

The Basics

A low-cost way to round out your benefits.

Group dental plans usually cover preventive care at or near 100 percent, with basic and major services covered at lower percentages up to an annual maximum. Vision plans cover routine eye exams and an allowance toward glasses or contacts.

You can pay for these plans, share the cost, or offer them on a voluntary basis where employees pay the full premium through payroll. Voluntary plans let you add a valued benefit without adding to your budget.

Decisions to make

  • Employer-paid, shared or voluntary
  • PPO network or freedom of choice
  • Annual maximum for dental
  • Orthodontia for children or adults
  • Frame and contact allowances

Common Questions

Group dental and vision questions

Can I offer dental without offering medical?
Yes. Dental and vision can usually be offered on their own, which makes them a good first benefit for a small business.
What does voluntary mean?
Employees pay the full premium through payroll deduction. You get to offer the benefit at group rates without contributing to the cost.
Are there waiting periods?
Preventive care usually starts right away. Major services and orthodontia often have waiting periods, though some carriers waive them for groups moving from another plan.
