Edenred Wellbeing gives you a reason to smile

Edenred's range of employee benefits has expanded in a jaw-dropping way: Edenred Dental is now Edenred Wellbeing. Dental services will be included in the new Edenred Wellbeing benefit. Edenred Wellbeing is a modern and cost-effective way to maintain the overall health of employees by taking care of employees' wellbeing.

In this blog, we explain how to use the Edenred Wellbeing benefit for dental care.

Instructions for activating and using the benefit can be found at the end of this article.
Here you can check all the clinics, where you can use Edenred Wellbeing.

How can the wellbeing benefit be used for dental care?

Often, a long time may pass without dental checkups. When an employee needs to visit a dental hygienist or other treatment procedure, the wellbeing benefit covers such visits and lowers the threshold for dental care. Regular dental care also affects the overall wellbeing of employees and prevents diseases. The wellbeing benefit is intended for the most usual care procedures that maintain dental health.

The wellbeing benefit offered by Edenred can be used, among other things:

• For dental checkups
• For patching dental cavities
• For calculus removal
• For a personal gift card that can be used for the procedures mentioned above or medically justified orthodontic treatment

Edenred Wellbeing can't be used for aesthetic procedures, such as teeth whitening.

The employer chooses service providers from Edenred's network where employees can use their benefit

As when ordering Edenred's massage benefit, the employer also selects the chains and service providers from Edenred's network where their employees can use their wellbeing benefit. In this case, the instructions of the Tax Administration on offering a tax-free dental benefit are followed. Edenred offers an easy tool for this, which makes it easy to create contracts online.

We strongly recommend employers to choose all wellbeing service providers available in Edenred's network. The wider choice options employees are offered to use the benefit, the more flexible and easier it is to use the benefit. Flexibility and ease ensure that employees also use their benefits.

Which dental clinics does the Edenred Wellbeing cover?

Edenred's network of dental clinics is growing all the time! Currently, our Wellbeing network includes, among others, Ebeling Dentists, Hammas Mehiläinen, Oral Dentists, Plusterveys Dentists, Coronaria Dental Clinics and Hammas Hohde.

In addition to that, there are numerous smaller clinics in our network, and new clinics are joining all the time. So take a look at our Merchant Search and filter it by benefit to find all the dental clinics where our benefit can be used.

The Edenred Wellbeing benefit can be given tax-free up to 3,000 euros per year

Edenred's wellbeing benefit is a tax-free benefit up to 3,000 euros per year. The general validity period of the benefit is 2 years. The wellbeing benefit also works in MyChoice, which enables the beneficiary to transfer the balance (within the limits of the maximum amounts determined by the Tax Administration) between the Massage benefit, the Transport benefit and the Virike benefit according to their own preferences. The MyChoice feature can be found in the MyEdenred application, where beneficiaries can check their balance, manage their benefits and information, and easily find places to use the benefits from the Merchant Search.

How does the virtual wellbeing benefit work?

Edenred Wellbeing is a completely virtual benefit that employees only need a smart device to use, i.e. a phone or smartwatch. To start using the benefit, the beneficiary must first activate the virtual Wellbeing card.

5. Your employer will either load the balance directly into your wellbeing benefit or you can alternatively transfer the balance from another benefit using MyEdenred's MyChoice feature. You can use the dwellbeing benefit up to 3,000 euros per year, so you can transfer the desired amount up to 3,000 euros, depending on how you have a benefit balance to transfer.
6. Ready! You can now pay with your wellbeing benefit in all merchants chosen by your employer.
