OKEMOS, Mich. – [June 17, 2009] – Hard economic times have hit the United States and many companies find themselves in a cost-cutting mode that reaches further and deeper than ever before. This forces painful cutbacks that impact valued retirees– many of whom are losing employer-sponsored retiree benefits.
Renaissance Life & Health Insurance Company of America (Renaissance America) has been studying this trend and has documented its discoveries in the new whitepaper “Caring for Aging Smiles: New Options for Retirees,” which is available at http://www.renaissancedental.com/.
“‘Caring for Aging Smiles’ covers the concerns of employers, the unique dental needs retirees face, and the options available to them,” said Tom Dimmer, director of National Individual Sales for Renaissance America. “Without employer-sponsored benefits, retirees have limited options when they need health and dental insurance most."
Renaissance America has adapted to these developing needs with Renaissance Dental Extend for Retirees. Available in all fifty states, Renaissance Dental Extend for Retirees offers full coverage on a self-paid basis, with no commitments or contracts for employers. With benefits designed exclusively for retirees, such as temporomandibular disorders (TMD), denture repair, and accidental injury, this plan provides more comprehensive coverage at an affordable rate than most plans currently available for individuals. Renaissance Dental Extend for Retirees also includes a nationwide PPO network, helping limit out-of-pocket costs.
