HumanaDental has been chosen by the Employees Retirement System of Texas (ERS) to provide dental benefits for more than 500,000 participants who are eligible for the group-benefits program, including state and certain higher education employees, retirees, and their dependents.
There are currently 394,000 participants enrolled in the dental plans. HumanaDental began providing dental benefits to ERS participants September 1, 2009, under a contract that expires August 31, 2013.
ERS participants will have two choices of dental benefit plans: the HumanaDental Dental Health Maintenance Organization (DHMO) or the State of Texas Dental Choice Plan.
Under the HumanaDental DHMO, participants select a network dentist and have no deductibles, no yearly maximums, and varying levels of copayments for preventive, basic, and major services. Under the State of Texas Dental Choice Plan, employees and retirees may choose any dentist; however, increased benefits will be provided by dentists in the HumanaDental PPO network.
