Lincoln Financial Group Dental Coverage With Flexibility In Benefits

The Insurance Solutions division of Lincoln National Corporation today announced the enhancement of its Dental coverage with the launch of new benefit features. These features are available on the Lincoln DentalConnect(SM) PPO plan, which includes more than 58,000 unique providers and over 105,000 provider locations, offering even greater choices for affordable, local dental care.

Earlier this year, coverage for dental implants and posterior composite fillings were added as optional benefits. This month, Lincoln — already a leader in the group ancillary market — is further solidifying its position with new product enhancements, which offer a virtually unlimited array of benefit plan options for employer groups. The Lincoln DentalConnect(SM) product now delivers expanded options to plan sponsors — from low-cost coverage options to plans offering the most comprehensive benefits. These new benefits are available to employers through PPO plans, traditional fee-for-service plans, and scheduled benefit plans.

“The differing plans, features and benefits allow the flexibility to create a customized design that will best suit a particular plan sponsor’s specific needs,” said Dave Swanson, Vice President, Product Development for Group Protection. “We also can better match current plan designs, minimizing disruption to members.”

The types of services covered include preventive, diagnostic, basic, major and orthodontic. The plans also offer ease of administration through Lincoln’s industry-leading “I-Team(SM) (Implementation Team)”, which delivers fast, accurate and error-free implementation.

“This enhanced benefit flexibility gives employers an advantage in being able to offer an extremely valuable dental benefit for their employees, which will help them to attract and retain employees,” said Swanson, “while our comprehensive, updated provider/location listing helps ensure skilled dentists are always available within each local area. We’re committed to making quality dental care accessible to our customers.”
