Group Dental & Vision Insurance for West Virginia Employers
How Group Dental & Vision Benefits Work
Group dental and vision plans let you offer employees affordable coverage for routine checkups, major dental work, eye exams, and glasses or contacts. Instead of buying policies on their own, your team enrolls through your company, usually at a lower group rate.
As the employer, you decide whether benefits are employer-paid, voluntary (employee-paid through payroll deduction), or a mix of both. Carriers offer a range of plan designs—different annual maximums, waiting periods, and provider networks—so you can match coverage and cost to your budget.
At Songer Insurance in Beckley, we help West Virginia businesses compare multiple carriers side by side, review network access for your local dentists and optometrists, and choose plans that support retention and recruiting while respecting your budget.

Types of Group Dental & Vision Plans
The Right Dental & Vision Package for Your Team
Every group dental and vision plan has its own rules for preventive services, fillings and crowns, orthodontia, frame and lens allowances, and out-of-network care. It can be hard to compare options just by looking at carrier brochures.
We break down the details for you—annual maximums, frequency limits, waiting periods, and out-of-pocket costs—so you can see exactly what you and your employees will pay at the dentist or eye doctor. Our goal is to help you choose benefits that employees actually use and appreciate.
➡️ Group Dental & Vision Plan Highlights
Group dental and vision plans are an easy way to round out your overall benefits package. Most dental plans cover preventive services like cleanings and exams at little or no cost, then share the cost of basic and major services such as fillings, root canals, crowns, and dentures.
Vision benefits typically include exams, lenses, frames, or contact lenses up to a set allowance. Many plans also offer discounts on additional pairs of glasses, lens upgrades, and even LASIK. We help you combine dental and vision options so your team gets the most value from every premium dollar.

Group Dental & Vision FAQs
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Common questions about group dental and vision plans in West Virginia.
Group dental and vision benefits raise a lot of questions—what’s covered, how networks work, and how much employees will pay. We’ve pulled together answers to the questions West Virginia employers ask us most often so you can make confident decisions for your team.
A group dental plan is coverage your business offers to employees, and often their dependents, at a discounted group rate. The plan helps pay for preventive services like cleanings and exams, as well as basic and major services such as fillings, crowns, and dentures. Employees typically pay a portion of the premium through payroll deduction, and you decide how much the company contributes.
A group vision plan helps employees pay for routine eye exams, glasses, and contact lenses. Most plans cover an annual exam and then provide an allowance or copay for frames and lenses or contacts. Some plans also offer discounts on second pairs of glasses, lens upgrades, or LASIK.
No. Many West Virginia employers offer dental and vision together because it is cost-effective, but you can also offer only dental or only vision. You can choose employer-paid, voluntary (employee-paid), or a hybrid approach depending on your budget and goals for your benefits package.
Contribution strategies vary. Some employers pay the full employee premium for dental and vision, while others split the cost 50/50 or make these plans voluntary. We’ll show you what similar employers in your market are doing and help you design a contribution strategy that fits your budget and supports retention.
Yes. Most group dental and vision plans allow employees to enroll spouses and children, with separate rates for employee-only, employee plus spouse, employee plus children, and family coverage. We’ll review each carrier’s rules with you so your employees understand their options at enrollment.
You can generally start a new group dental or vision plan at any time of year, as long as you meet the carrier’s participation and contribution requirements. Most employers review these benefits at the same time as their medical plan renewal. If you are adding coverage midyear, we’ll help you coordinate effective dates and employee communications.
