Sage Dental expands access via employee health plans
DSO expansion into employer benefits: how Sage Dental uses group plans to reach new patient populations.
Sage Dental, based in Boca Raton, Florida, has partnered with Curaechoice to broaden access to dental care for employees and their families through employer-sponsored health plans. Curaechoice is a no-cost benefits program offering medical, pharmacy, dental and vision coverage to self-insured employers. The partnership provides Curaechoice members access to Sage Dental's network across Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and South Carolina.
Employee access to dental networks
The partnership creates a pathway for workers at self-insured companies to receive dental care without out-of-pocket costs. Sage Dental's regional network becomes available to Curaechoice members, expanding the range of treatment options. This model addresses the gap in dental coverage among employed populations who may lack or have limited dental benefits.

For Sage Dental, the arrangement represents a growth avenue into the employer benefits market. By integrating with Curaechoice's no-cost program, the practice network gains access to a new patient population.
