Save on dental costs with Chewsi!

Reminder to everyone on the dental plan to check in with your dentist to see if they accept payment though the Chewsi app. While processing mid-year claims I've noticed a few instances of employees using the same dentist and getting the same procedures, but one of them is paying more by not using the app. Below is the link to the Chewsi flyer on SharePoint with more information on what it is and how to find out if your dentist accepts it.
