The ADA collected responses from dental practices in its monthly “Economic Outlook and Emerging Issues” poll. The most recent poll represents responses for the week of July 11.
Dentists were asked, “Do you offer health insurance to your employees?” The responses included 1,200 respondents.
Here are the reasons dentists cited for not offering health insurance to employees:
Too costly — 83 percent
Staff has other source of coverage — 16 percent
Not the industry norm — 13 percent
Don’t know how/unfamiliar with vendors — 10 percent
Don’t feel it’s my obligation — 6 percent
Don’t feel it’s important — 1 percent
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
