Dental and vision solutions for time-sensitive renewals

Background

A private manufacturing employer with 52 benefits-eligible employees was facing an unexpected challenge when its dental and vision renewal came back with significantly higher premiums than anticipated. With limited time before the renewal deadline, the broker needed a quick, easy alternative that would minimize disruption while still delivering competitive benefits to employees.

The broker turned to Aflac for a seamless, fast-to-market dental and vision solution that could be implemented immediately.

Solution

• Provided a brochure of dental and vision plans that were simple to explain and quick to implement.
• Completed a census enrollment due to the compressed timeframe.
• Turned around the full case build and issued coverage in less than 72 hours.
• Supported broker communications through email and text touchpoints to employees.

This approach allowed the broker to pivot quickly without the need for face-to-face enrollments or added administrative complexity.
