title: Les Schwab tire centers leads the way in dental insurance.
abstract: A family-owned retail tire company has a successful history with direct reimbursement for dental and other health care benefits. Although there is a co-pay and some elective services are not covered, employees are not asked to fund insurance premiums and freedom of choice with regard to provider is ensured. This approach is grounded in the family orientation of the company.
