It’s easy to enroll your group in a Superior Wellness Bundle through SDC! Simply follow these steps:
Groups must first enroll in an SDC dental plan to be eligible for an exclusive Superior Vision plan through SDC.
Complete your SDC bundle by selecting one Superior Vision plan to add to your SDC dental plan(s). Only one Superior Vision plan may be selected per group.
Tied to Dental: Superior Vision plan enrollment mirrors SDC dental plan enrollment exactly—employees and their dependents who enroll in dental are automatically enrolled in the vision plan.
Employer-Paid: The employer pays any portion of the employee premium and 0% of the dependent premium. Employees may enroll in dental only, vision only, or both. Dependents may enroll in each plan in which the employee enrolls.
Voluntary: The employer pays 0% of the employee premium and 0% of the dependent premium. Employees may enroll in dental only, vision only, or both. Dependents may enroll in each plan in which the employee enrolls.
Choose to have your group’s dental and vision rates listed separately on the bill or have them bundled together into one rate.
SDC dental plan ID cards will be mailed directly to members. Superior Vision plan ID cards will be mailed separately—members will receive their Superior Vision ID card approximately two weeks after SDC dental ID cards are mailed.

In 2009, the National Health Care Anti-Fraud Association (NHCAA) estimated that 3-10% of the nation's annual benefits paid for health care were paid for fraudulent or abusive submissions. Estimations by fraud analysts indicate that there is a greater percentage of fraud in dentistry than there is in medicine. Because insurance fraud significantly impacts the cost of dental benefits, you can play a key role in identifying and reporting suspicious activity.
The NHCAA reports that the most common fraudulent acts include:
