About Beam:

Beam was founded in 2012 by three engineers who saw the opportunity to modernize the dental benefits industry using technology. The first product was the Beam Brush, which was one of the earliest examples of the Internet of Things in healthcare. Today, Beam Benefits is available in 40+ states and has expanded beyond dental.

Beam is now simplifying and modernizing a robust suite of ancillary employee benefits through an intuitive digital platform, self-service tools, AI-powered pricing, and support from Beam’s helpful representatives. This winning combination allows us to deliver a simple, smart, and wellness-focused experience for brokers, employers, and members.
