“We engaged Mark from Strategic Dental to strengthen both our underwriting frameworks along with creating consistent associate development material. He delivered updated underwriting guidelines that enhanced decision making to keep us competitive and compliant while positioning the organization for future profitable growth. In addition, he created a comprehensive yet simplified training manual that provides a consistent development and onboarding process for new associates and greatly improve the employee experience. His work provided meaningful value the underwriting organization will be able to utilize and reference daily that will benefit the entire department well into the future.” Assistant Vice President, Group Underwriting - Insurance Carrier

“We had the opportunity to work with Mark Coyne as a consultant during a critical period in which our organization was reviewing and evaluating RFP’s for third party administration services for dental. Mark was an invaluable asset throughout the entire process. His deep industry knowledge, strategic thinking, and collaborative approach significantly contributed to the success of our TPA transition. I would not hesitate to recommend or use him for future engagements.” Assistant Vice President, Group Administration - Insurance Carrier
