FAQ

Group dental insurance, explained plainly

Can I offer dental without changing our health plan?

Through Covered California for Small Business, dental is a separate decision from health insurance. You can offer dental whether or not you change your health plan.

Can employees cover their dependents?

Through Covered California for Small Business, employees can choose a dental plan for themselves and their dependents.

Does the business have to pay toward dental?

Isn’t dental already part of health insurance?

Pediatric dental care is one of the essential health benefits in Marketplace plans. Adult dental coverage is not an essential health benefit.
