Capital Blue Cross has made it easier than ever for your employees to access quality dental coverage that supports their overall health and well-being.
Why choose Capital Blue Cross Dental?
-
No participation requirement: The 75% minimum enrollment for dental and vision coverage has been eliminated beginning with July 2025 effective dates.
-
Built-in savings: New or renewing groups that add dental coverage alongside medical receive a one-month premium or administration fee "holiday" at enrollment and again at renewal. That's two months total of no premium payment.
-
Extensive network: With over 5,000 regional access points and 500,000 providers nationwide, employees can choose from one of the largest regional Select* networks.
-
Easy access to care: Ninety-seven percent of members have two general dentist providers within 10 miles.
With flexible plan designs and broad access to care, Capital's dental coverage helps your employees maintain their smiles and overall health.
Contact your Capital producer or sales executive to learn more about adding dental coverage to your group plan.

Lung cancer remains the deadliest cancer in the U.S., yet only about 16% of eligible patients receive recommended screenings. Chances are, many working adults in your workforce meet screening criteria. Are they getting it done?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Early detection could save lives. And most Capital Blue Cross plans often cover these screenings, which consist of vital low-dose CT scans along with smoking cessation and treatment support.
As an employer, you can help close the gap and increase screenings by leading awareness efforts and encourage your employees to make screening appointments, which are usually no-cost to the member.

|
We are adding an in-network deductible to Blue Distinction® Centers for Transplant (BDCT) travel expense benefit. Effective upon renewal on or after January 1, 2026, the in-network deductible will apply to all standard travel expense benefits for transplants performed at a BDCT facility.
Please note that since Qualified High Deductible Health Plans (QHDHPs) already apply a deductible for this benefit, QHDHPs are not included in this change

|
Many employer groups may not see youth mental health as a workplace issue but they should. About 1 in 5 children in the U.S. struggle with mental wellness, and those struggles often travel home to working parents. In fact, 53% of working parents say they’ve missed work monthly to manage a child’s mental health needs, and 54% interrupt their workday to respond.
When your employees and their families feel supported, outcomes can improve. Capital Blue Cross offers resources like a behavioral health toolkit, products, and apps that support mental wellness for employees and their dependents.
