The City of Savannah makes available to eligible employees, retirees, and family members access to voluntary dental and vision insurance coverage.  The estimated premium is to be paid 100% by those members who are enrolled in insurance coverage.  There is no cost to the city for this service.  The policy will be effective from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026, with a one-year rate guarantee.  We will market the dental and vision lines of coverage for 2027.
