Celebrating Two Claremont Milestone
Work Anniversaries

Please join us in celebrating Chris Kersey and Crystal Nelson on their milestone work anniversaries.

Chris Kersey, Applications Developer, is celebrating 15 years. “Chris always has the needs of our clients and team members front of mind when he is designing and coding,” says Ken Ruotolo, Claremont COO. “Inevitably, Chris will point out something that we hadn’t thought of and then will implement it in a thoughtful, easy-to-use and comprehensive way. I know I speak for all his teammates when I say it is a real pleasure to work with Chris. Congratulations on 15 years of service!” 

Crystal Nelson, Broker Service Representative, is celebrating 5 years. Crystal initially came aboard as a temporary employee but quickly demonstrated that she should be a permanent member of the team. “Our broker customers have nothing but good things to say about Crystal,” says Laura Hogsed, Service Manager. “She is thoughtful, thorough, and goes above and beyond in everything that she does. Crystal is a great example of Claremont’s core values of Thoughtfulness, Innovation, Professionalism, Positivity, and Collaboration. She is truly a joy to work with. Please  join me in congratulating Crystal on her 5 years of great service!"

PPO and Premier - How The Dual Network Works

Delta Dental PPO™ plan members have access to two Delta Dental networks – Delta Dental PPO and Delta Dental Premier®. Together, they make up the largest network of dentists in the nation. In fact, four out of five dentists in the United States are Delta Dental network dentists.

Delta Dental offers small groups two base plan options that differ only in how non-Delta Dental PPO dentist reimbursement is calculated: Delta Dental PPO and Delta Dental PPO plus Premier. While enrollees may visit any licensed dentist, they’ll usually save the most with a Delta Dental PPO network dentist. Either plan option offers savings and access to both broad networks.

With Delta Dental’s dual network, your clients and their employees can make informed choices about their care and costs, without sacrificing quality. Get the details and contact us today for a Delta Dental quote.
