Nearly 300 million, 88% of Population, Enrolled in Dental Benefits in 2022 DALLAS, Feb. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- At year-end 2022, a record 293 million Americans had dental coverage according to the 2023 Benefits Report: Enrollment, recently published by the National Association of Dental Plans’ (NADP). The latest NADP research shows 88 percent of the population have dental coverage, including Americans receiving benefits through employer-sponsored or other group plans, individual plans, or public benefits. Enrollment in publicly funded benefits increased significantly, up 22.4 percent in 2022 compared to 2021. However, enrollment in commercial dental benefits was flat compared to 2021. NOTE: Due to the availability of complete federal data on Medicaid and CHIP enrollment for 2017, the total for 2016 uses a different methodology than prior years. In 2017, NADP analysis of Medicare Landscape files resulted in an increase of about 5 million Medicare lives for this report. About Publicly Funded Benefits
“NADP is encouraged by the growth in dental benefits enrollment. Our library of research indicates dental coverage contributes to good oral and overall health because individuals with dental benefits see their dentists more often. We hope this trend in market growth continues,” remarked NADP Executive Director Mike Adelberg. About Commercial Benefits About 61 percent of all commercial group dental benefits are Employer sponsored and the other 39 percent are voluntary benefits. About 5.8 percent of the population with commercial dental benefits has coverage through Individual policies and products. Less than two percent of commercial dental benefits are integrated with medical policies. Nearly half of group dental benefits, 45 percent, are self-insured. About the Report About NADP
