What is self-insurance?
Bento enables employers of any size and any budget to self-insure their group dental benefit with ease.
Your benefit, your money
Compared to monthly premiums charged by traditional insurance companies, on a self-insured plan with Bento, you only pay-as-your-employees-go. When you self-insure/self-fund, your dental benefits you only pay for what’s actually used.
What about the risk? Dental benefits are typically capped with an annual max per person. Your plan limits the risk to a fixed dollar amount. It’s time to do the math.
In a 2020 internal study, Bento found that only 9% of Americans use their entire annual maximum. This is allowing traditional insurance companies to profit from your unused benefit dollars. By self-insuring your dental benefit, you could be keeping this excess and saving on State/ACA Taxes, claims processing fees, and insurance capital reserves.
Bento only charges a small membership fee and provides you with all of the administrative tools and large network. With Bento, you can successfully self-fund your dental benefit with ease. From real-time utilization reports to claims processing and a pre-negotiated rates in a nationwide network, Bento can start saving you 20% – 40% on the cost of your group dental benefit.
