United Concordia Dental is now offering two new benefit options -- implants and posterior composite resin fillings -- for its Concordia Flex, Concordia Preferred, and Concordia Choice plans for groups of 10 or more enrolled employees.
"Brokers, employers, and members asked us to make these larger group benefits available to smaller groups," said Sharon Muscarella, United Concordia senior vice president of sales and chief marketing officer, in a press release. "These features are just another example of United Concordia's commitment to offer products and services that meet changing marketplace demands."
Implant surgery and crowns are now offered as optional benefits (plan deductibles and coinsurances apply). Groups can add implant services to count against either the plan's annual maximum or a separate implant lifetime maximum. Posterior composite resin fillings are also available as an optional benefit.
"More dental offices are offering white composite fillings as an option to silver amalgam when teeth in the back of the mouth need to be repaired," said Richard Klich, D.M.D., United Concordia Dental's national dental director, in the release. "This optional benefit will help cover the cost of the treatment regardless of which type of filling is chosen."
Analgesia is also now available as a treatment option under certain conditions for special needs patients and children age 12 or younger at no additional cost. This enhancement will be part of United Concordia's standard Concordia Flex, Concordia Preferred, and Concordia Choice plans.
