Renaissance Introduces Vision Plans

Partners with Avesis Vision Plans to Package Insured Vision Plans
with Dental Products
OKEMOS, Mich.--(Business Wire)--Renaissance Dental introduces insured vision plans as an exclusive
option packaged with its group dental products. Billing and enrollment
are consolidated, making the offering easy to sell for agents and easy
to administer for employers.

"Renaissance was created to provide flexibility and value to small
businesses that are usually not given a lot of options when it comes
to employee benefit offerings," says Phil Wenk, D.D.S., president of
Renaissance. "With this dental and vision benefits bundling, our
clients can add a valuable benefit to their offerings at a low cost
while simplifying their administrative burden."

Renaissance's new vision plans include two fully-insured vision
PPO options. Each plan offers in- and out-of-network benefits with low
co-pays. The vision plans feature access to a national network of more
than 18,000 providers, including independent eye care professionals as
well as national and regional retail vision centers.

With a focus on making dental benefits affordable for smaller
businesses, Renaissance Dental includes Renaissance Dental PPO and
Renaissance Dental Classic indemnity plans for groups with as few as 5
enrollees. All Renaissance plans have the option to include the
Renaissance Value Card, which includes access to other health care
service and product discounts at no additional cost.
