You've Come to the Right Place!

We can help you create a new dental plan, or take your current plan and make it more efficient and cost-effective.

Our Secret: Good Management:
The costs of dental benefits are greatly reduced by effective plan management, including coordination of benefits. Client groups shift this management responsibility entirely to HEG; all the client needs to provide is an accurate list of eligible employees. Health Economics Group, Inc. knows how to effectively structure a plan and manage cash flow to ensure the lowest possible costs.
