RCL has completed its fifth annual Dental PPO Network Study, analyzing the value of networks for all major carriers in the dental insurance industry. This year’s study shows that discounts in dental preferred provider networks, the most popular type of plan sold, increased in 2008 after an unusual decrease in 2007. The number of dentists participating in the average network also continues to increase, although no longer at the extremely fast rate seen last year.
Ruark Insurance Advisors (RIA)
RIA was founded in 1998 by our president, Tim Ruark. Tim recognized that the equity-based product market was underserved in terms of financial management capacity. He decided to work towards creating more capacity, while at the same time influencing the design of products to better manage the underlying financial risks.
RIA specializes in designing and implementing risk management solutions for the annuity product marketplace. Our expertise in product design, risk analysis, reserve valuations, and risk transfer related to the guaranteed benefits in variable annuity products, the indexed benefits under equity indexed annuities, and capital relief for fixed annuities can help you bring products to market faster and better manage the underlying risks.
