‘TIs the season where you’re not only doing plenty of wrapping and baking for Christmas, but you’re probably wrapping up 2024 and baking up what you want your 2025 to look like. This is the time of year when many people are looking over what they’ve done for healthcare and are looking ahead to make next year healthier and more affordable.
If you’re already a Member of Altrua HealthShare, you know the savings and community you’ve experienced by being part of the Altrua HealthShare membership. Or maybe you’re not an Altrua HealthShare Member and are considering your options this open enrollment season. Wherever you find yourself during this open enrollment, don’t forget to smile.
What does that mean?
Altrua HealthShare has the nation’s first dental sharing program, SmileShare. You can add SmileShare to your existing Altrua HealthShare membership. Or, if you don’t need Altrua HealthShare for your medical needs, but you need a dental option, SmileShare could be the right fit for you.
SmileShare works in the same way Altrua HeathShare does, where the membership shares in each other’s eligible needs. SmileShare also utilizes the SmileShare app, which allows you to find dentists in your area, to book appointments, review dental visits, and more. Taking care of your teeth has never been easier.
SmileShare has three levels of membership you can choose from, so you can decide what’s best for your budget. From cleanings to crowns, you’ll find the right membership for you and your family, all at a low monthly contribution. SmileShare even offers sharing in orthodontic costs, helping make those braces a little easier to bite into!
20% of Americans don’t get the dental care they need each year because of the cost.1 SmileShare can help make the care you need affordable through sharing. How does it work? Members of SmileShare agree to a Statement of Standards. When you become a Member of SmileShare and make your monthly contribution, other Members of SmileShare then help share in your eligible dental costs. It’s a win-win for your wallet and your smile.
As you take care of all the things on your list for the end of the year, consider the things that take care of you. Altrua HealthShare and SmileShare are one of the ways that Members take care of each other. Review your healthcare and dental needs and see if SmileShare could be the solution for your dental health. You can reach out to a Member Services Representative for more information at 1.888.244.3839. Give yourself something to smile about in 2025!
