beam® Launches SmartPremiums: Group Dental Insurance that Rewards Good Oral Hygiene
Created by
Press Releases
Content
SmartPremiums, the first group dental insurance plans that price according to how often members brush their teeth, launched today in California with plans to launch in additional states later this year. SmartPremium plans leverage data from the beam® brush and provide an unparalleled member experience with the company’s focus on prevention, included dental goods, and mobile technology.
COLUMBUS, OH (PRWEB) APRIL 28, 2016
Over the past couple of years, major trends have emerged toward the consumerization of healthcare, with an increasing focus on the impact of technology on controlling costs and creating better health outcomes. If these collective efforts represent the future of health coverage, beam®’s SmartPremiums represents the future of dental coverage.
With the launch of SmartPremiums, beam® is creating a fundamentally different insurance product for the market through:
Brush-driven underwriting - As members improve brushing, the beam® score is improved. A higher beam® score will either lower renewal prices or increase coverage according to the group’s benefits strategy.
beam® perks wellness plan for every member - a connected electric toothbrush and quarterly shipments of paste, floss and replacement heads are shipped directly to every member
Improved brushing behavior - the beam dental mobile experience helps members to improve brushing behavior by almost 100% on average (1)
Great coverage and a large network - Preventive, Basic, Major and Ortho with plans designed to meet a group’s needs and over 270K provider access points
beam® has been refining the beam® brush and its member experience to improve the oral hygiene habits of brush users. Now, beam® is leveraging its ability to significantly increase brushing behavior to improve outcomes and provide additional value to members. This results in savings for beam®’s clients, and will eventually lead to more customizable plans to meet the specific needs of certain groups.
Each member of a SmartPremium plan is enrolled in the company’s unique beam® perks dental wellness program which includes a beam® brush and quarterly shipments of paste, floss and replacement heads sent right to their door. Beam believes that every person should have the tools they need for great oral health at all times.
While the brush data and technology used in underwriting is core to SmartPremiums, beam® also uses technology to create a better member experience through innovations such as the company’s enrollment portal, digital insurance card and mobile dentist search tool.
In addition, beam® offers a large network with over 270 thousand access points nationally and multiple service levels (Preventive, Basic, Major and Ortho) that members expect from all dental plans.
SmartPremiums are now offered because beam® aims to impact dental health and the costs of delivering care. A combination of better dental hygiene and affordable coverage means beam® is one step closer to serving the over 100 million Americans without dental coverage today.(2)
