Dental

Oral health can have a significant impact on a person’s general health in the long term.
People with dental issues are:

• 25% more likely to suffer from heart disease
• 2x as likely to visit the ER or have a hospital stay
• More likely to suffer from autoimmune disorder, anemia, gastro-intestinal disorders, or renal disease

Vision

Regular eye exams are part of a holistic approach to early detection and preventive care.
People with vision issues

• Spend 40-90% more overall on health care costs than others of their generation

• May lose up to 2+ years of healthy life from a serious vision or eye condition

Life

Having life insurance can help reduce stress and improve a member’s overall mental health.
