2 Dental for Everyone History
In 2002, MorganWhiteGroup (MWG) was given the opportunity to pilot Dental for Everyone in 7 states, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Utah, and Georgia. The Premier plan was the only option available in The agreement was that MWG would assume 100% of the risk, and provide all administration services with the exception of eligibility and claims which was handled by DDIC. In mid 2006 MWG presented the results to Delta Dental and asked for approval to add the PPO option, and make Dental for Everyone available in all 16 enterprise states. The results proved promising and Delta Dental agreed to MWG’s requests and now shares in 50% of the risk.
