Renaissance Dental

What Renaissance Dental does

Renaissance Benefits, operating under the legal entity Renaissance Life & Health Insurance Company of America and headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, is a private multi-line ancillary and supplemental health insurance carrier. The company sells dental, vision, life, short- and long-term disability, accident, supplemental health (RenSecureHealth), and statutory Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) coverage to employer groups, and offers Active Lifestyles bundles, ACA marketplace plans, and Medicare Supplement plans to individuals and families. It also administers the TennCare Medicaid program in Tennessee and offers white-label benefits solutions that allow other carriers and benefits administrators to distribute its products under their own brand. The company is rated "A" (Excellent) by AM Best, operates a nationwide dental network of more than 450,000 access points, and accesses 137,000+ vision access points through VSP, processing over 20 million claims per year with 99% completed within 10 days.

Renaissance distributes through three primary channels: direct-to-consumer online and via support teams for individual and family plans, direct-to-employer sales with dedicated account management for group business, and a broker channel powered by the MyRenXperience portal. Revenue is generated through recurring insurance premiums billed per employee per month for group business and on a monthly subscription basis for individual plans, supplemented by white-label OEM arrangements. The company is privately held under Renaissance Holding Company, with a dedicated New York subsidiary underwriting business in that state. No external funding rounds, M&A activity, or investor composition are disclosed in the available data.

The technology platform centers on RenConnect, an integration layer that simplifies eligibility, enrollment, and billing data exchange between Renaissance and employer HR systems across multiple product lines. This integration platform is paired with purpose-built portals: RenMemberPortal for individual members, MyRenBenefitsManager for group members, RenBenefitsAdmin for employer benefits administrators, and MyRenXperience for brokers. RenSecureHealth, the company's diagnosis-based supplemental health product, pays direct cash benefits for 13,000+ covered injuries and illnesses, typically within days via direct deposit, Venmo, or PayPal. The company also partners with Amplifon to bundle hearing discounts into individual plans.
