The U.S. business group of Sun Life Financial is partnering with United Concordia Dental (UCD) to offer group dental benefit plans.
The agreement enables Sun Life to offer plan sponsors a range of dental benefit options while providing covered employees and their dependents access to cost-effective dental care services, the companies said in a press release.
UCD has one of the largest dental provider networks in the U.S., comprising more than 72,000 dentists at over 130,000 practicing locations. The plans will also offer other features, such as incentives for preventive dental care.
Sun Life will start offering new dental business through the partnership on July 11, 2011.
