Ameritas Group Introduces Cost-Cutting Dental Plans for California.LINCOLN, Neb. -- Today, Ameritas Group, the dental and eye care division of Ameritas Life Insurance Corp., announced the introduction of new dental plans that are designed to overcome employee benefits challenges faced by California employers. "Our goal was to give employers new cost-cutting solutions without all the restrictions and limitations of a DHMO DHMO Di-Hydrogen Monoxide (water) plan," said Ameritas Senior Vice President - Group Division Ken VanCleave, LLIF LLIF LIMRA Leadership Institute Fellow . "The new plans will enhance our ability to compete in California's dual choice environment by offering an expanded range of cost and coverage level choices." Ameritas Group's new basic low-cost plan achieves maximum savings through its money-saving design and discounted dental network fees. Four new High/Low Plans offer employees a choice between two price and coverage levels. "The plans are available with or without employer funding," VanCleave added. "Employers can let their employees select and pay the premium for whichever plan meets their needs. Or, employers can fund the Low Plan and give employees the option to pay the difference in premium for the High Plan's richer benefits design." VanCleave emphasized a distinction between Ameritas Group's plans and many competing products in California. "Unlike most cost-controlled options out there, every plan we offer gives insured employees and their dependents the freedom to visit any dentist they choose," he explained.
