DENTAL PLANS
Dental insurance is an optional contributory coverage designed to reduce the costs of regular dental care.
Dental coverage is available for employees and their dependents, with employees paying the entire cost.
Each plan has varying premium amounts that are payroll deducted on a bi-weekly basis.

Currently we have two dental plans that our regular full-time employee may enroll in.

 Fortis Dental Care - Denticare Managed Care- No waiting periods, No annual deductibles, No Lifetime
 Maximum, Preventive and Diagnostic Exams, Cleanings and X-rays are covered at 100%.  Currently there 
 are eight (8) network participating General Dentists and four (4) Specialty Care Dentists in the Columbus Area.

 Fortis Dental Care - Allows participants to visit the dentist of their choice.  There is a Calendar Year
 Deductible of $50.   No waiting period for preventive and basic care.  Required Waiting Periods for Major Care
 is  6-12 Months and 24 Months for Orthodontics.  Other coverage amount will vary depending on the individual
 cases.
