NORWELL, MA, ISSUED MAY 24, 2016 – Reimbursement Specialists, Inc., a division of Comprehensive Benefit Administrators (www.cbacompanies.com), a company that combines traditional brokerage services with specialty services such as advocacy, claims administration, benefits expertise and compliance, announces coverage for Interleukin Genetics, Inc.’s PerioPredict® Genetic Risk Test as part of its Freedom Dental Plan.
Reimbursement Specialists, Inc., a division of CBA, is a third-party claims administrator that advises companies on how to save on their healthcare costs through creative healthcare funding options.
The recent agreement signed between the Reimbursement Specialists division of CBA and Interleukin Genetics adds an innovative new benefit to CBA’s Freedom Dental Plan. The proprietary PerioPredict® Genetic Risk Test identifies individuals at increased risk for severe periodontitis due to a genetic tendency to overproduce chronic inflammation, an underlying root cause of many chronic diseases.
“We’re pleased to add PerioPredict® as a component of our Freedom Dental Plan,” said Michael McKenna, CEO and Founder of Comprehensive Benefit Administrators. “This unique genetic test provides added value for our present and prospective clients; we‘re happy to offer it as a covered benefit. More importantly, it is one of those rare opportunities to not only use a positive result to proactively avoid periodontal disease, it will identify those individuals who have a higher propensity for inflammation-based conditions such as Diabetes and Cardiovascular disease. The link between good dental health and medical health is now indisputable and proactive dental care is a practical way to reduce inflammation. This one test has the potential for consumers to identify their genetic risk and take preventative measures to promote wellness and reduce downstream healthcare costs.“
