Dental for Everyone History
 In 2002, MorganWhiteGroup (MWG) was given the
opportunity to pilot Dental for Everyone in 7 states, Alabama,
Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Utah, and Georgia.
The Premier plan was the only option available in 2002. The
agreement was that MWG would assume 100% of the risk,
and provide all administration services with the exception of
eligibility and claims which was handled by DDIC.
 In mid 2006 MWG presented the results to Delta Dental and
asked for approval to add the PPO option, and make Dental
for Everyone available in all 16 enterprise states. The results
proved promising and Delta Dental agreed to MWG’s
requests and now shares in 50% of the risk.
Dental for Everyone History
(cont.)
 The first available effective date for the 16 state enterprise
rollout was February 1, 2007. In 1 1/2 years MWG has
tripled the total block of business that it took almost 4 years
to build.
 The success achieved in the first year can be attributed to
the implementation of an online enrollment system created
by MWG, the addition of the PPO option, the plan being
available in more states, and internet marketing.
