Background:
Hennepin has offered a voluntary, employee dental plan to employees and dependents since 1983. As part of our Total Rewards strategy to offer a balanced and contemporary benefit set, Hennepin County contributes to the monthly dental premium.
Dental premiums for the employee and employer contribution will not change for the 2024 plan year. Retired employees do not receive a county contribution.
Earlier this year, Human Resources solicited proposals for the administration and underwriting of the county's voluntary dental plan with an employer contribution. Requests for Proposal were sent to insurance companies and published on the County's website; proposals were received from four companies.
Benefit Enrollment
Total Membership*: 14,422
