FUSION Protects Oral, Visual Wellness.


LINCOLN, Neb. -- Ameritas Group, the dental and eye care division of Ameritas Life Insurance Corp., announces there really is something new under the sun: Dental and eye care benefits in one convenient plan. It's called "FUSION: THE ULTIMATE CHOICE(SM)" and only Ameritas Group offers it.

"Now, insured employees can use their employee benefits dollars for the services they decide are their highest priority--dental, eye care, or both," notes Ameritas Vice President - Group Marketing and Managed Care Karen Gustin, LLIF LLIF LIMRA Leadership Institute Fellow . "We've taken two comprehensive ancillary benefit plans and fused fuse 1 also fuze

 them together to provide the ultimate in choice and control."

These new plans set a higher standard for employee benefits flexibility, providing common-sense solutions in a consumer-driven health plan environment. With medical costs increasing dramatically, FUSION gives employees an affordable way to protect two of their most valuable assets: Their smile and their sight.

Here's how it works. Employers combine their choice of Ameritas Group dental plans with a comprehensive defined benefit eye care plan. Annual maximums, deductibles and/or exam frequencies may be integrated to create any number of FUSION dental and eye care solutions that meet employer and employee needs. What's more, the dental plan may include Ameritas Group's Dental Rewards(SM) and nationwide Participating Provider Organization.

 benefits through a single, streamlined claims system translates to reduced administrative expenses for employers, as well as satisfied employees at claims payment time," adds Gustin.

FUSION's breakthrough design requires only one payroll slot and one premium for both dental and eye care coverage. Whether employers, employees or both pay premiums, FUSION delivers maximum value for their benefits investment. The combined dental and eye care design results in a lower premium than the total for both coverages purchased separately.
