With a focus on member service and efficiency, Altus Dental is poised for continued growth in 2025

In the local dental insurance market, Altus Dental is prepared and well-positioned to continue building its reputation as a trusted partner for businesses of all sizes

WORCESTER, Mass. — Kicking off 2025 with an ongoing commitment to the small business community and continued success in the large market, Altus Dental™ projects growth in New England’s insurance market. Altus Dental expects enrollment to exceed 330,000 members this July, all while remaining focused on and strengthening its commitment to exceptional service. 

For more than 25 years, Altus Dental has built its reputation as a value-added partner for businesses of all sizes in Massachusetts, earning the trust of its members on the double-edged foundation of its diverse suite of innovative dental and vision benefits packages and attentive, personalized service.

“Selecting an appropriate benefits package is a critically important responsibility for any employer, regardless of size,” said Joseph R. Perroni, President & CEO, Altus Dental. “Our job, as we see it, is to make that decision-making process — and every-thing that comes after it — as seamless as possible. With a 94% satisfaction rate among our active members, we’re incredibly proud of the service we provide.”

Altus Dental’s mission of providing affordable, comprehensive coverage with top notch customer service has certainly resonated. Numerous times and as recently as 2023, the insurer was recognized as one of New England’s fastest-growing businesses. Most recently, Altus Dental was selected as the dental and vision carrier for one of Massachusetts’ largest groups — the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Group Insurance Commission — adding another 100,000 new members to its growing roster. 

“It always feels good to onboard new members, but earning the business of the GIC brings a real sense of pride to our company,” said James Kinney, Vice President, Sales and Business Relations, Altus Dental. “This win is a testament to our team’s consistently excellent work on behalf of our members and proof that our constant efforts to earn the trust of brokers and clients — while scaling our boutique service model — are paying off, positioning us as a strong contender for the region’s largest employers.”

“The landscape has certainly become more challenging, but we have the tools and talent we need to continue our forward momentum. We’ve proudly championed small businesses, and at the same time, we’re proving we can compete at the highest level.”  - James Kinney, VP Sales and Business Relations, Altus Dental

While Altus Dental is strengthening its ties with some of the region’s top employers, leaders at the insurer are quick to emphasize the company’s longstanding commitment to the local small business community — a commitment Altus says will continue despite significant new challenges facing dental carriers operating in this Massachusetts’ market segment. 

Due to these unprecedented challenges, numerous dental carriers made the decision to exit the local small group market. Pointing to its advantageous size and efficiency-focused business model, Altus Dental says it is well-positioned to not only navigate and withstand the economic challenges in today’s small group market, but to grow. 

“The landscape has become increasingly uncertain, but with that also comes new opportunities. We have the tools and talent we need to continue our forward momentum,” Kinney said. “We’ve proudly championed small businesses, and at the same time, we’re proving we can compete at the highest level.”

Whether you’re a startup looking for your first benefits package or an established business seeking a trusted long-term partner, Altus Dental has the expertise, flexibility and commitment to support your workforce.
