[Check List: Employer Contribution needs to be over 50%]
Voluntary Plan: Groups enrolling in Voluntary plans must have at least 2 people enrolling to be eligible for coverage.
[Check List: Employer Contribution needs to be 49%]
*For orthodontia, an employer group must have a minimum of 10 enrolling employees. Orthodontia benefits are for dependent children only up to the age of 18.
Why OBM Elite? If you are eligible to join.
The elite plan is a great value plan, but the gating factor, which is 75% participation ratio is hard to meet. (i.e. if a small family with of 3 siblings, all 3 needed to join before there can join the elite tier.)
The major difference between OBM Elite specialty option is that the coverage for Class III procedure is at 80% vs only 50% for the Voluntary plan.
- Class I: Diagnostic and preventive services, such as cleanings and X-rays
- Class II: Basic restorative care, such as root canals and fillings
- Class III: Major restorative care, such as crowns, bridges, and dentures
