UnitedHealthcare's Golden Rule Introduces
Cost-Effective Vision and Dental Coverage Options for Consumers in
Five States
Indianapolis, IN (July 1, 2009) -
UnitedHealthcare's Golden Rule Insurance Company has introduced new
cost-effective dental and vision care coverage options for
individuals and families in Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana,
Louisiana and Nebraska.
Over the past year, Golden Rule has introduced dental and vision
plans in 27 states and the District of Columbia.
The new dental plans with optional vision coverage are available to
consumers of all ages - including Medicare recipients and children -
and do not require applicants to have any other insurance plans
through Golden Rule or its affiliates.
In addition, new customers purchasing Golden Rule health plans in
the five states can now add dental coverage as an optional benefit.
Golden Rule's dental coverage features 100 percent coverage for
preventive care with no deductible and no waiting period, as well as
savings through UnitedHealthcare's extensive network of 73,000
dentists. Benefits of the new vision coverage include comprehensive
eye examinations, prescription glasses and contacts. To help
consumers keep their costs lower, discounts are offered through
UnitedHealthcare's vision network of more than 24,000 private
practice and retail chain providers.
"Dental and vision care are an important part of overall health and
wellness," Golden Rule CEO Rich Collins said. "Especially in today's
economy when trips to the dentist or eye doctor can be difficult to
budget, our new coverage options can help individuals and families
take better care of their health at a more affordable cost."
Golden Rule offers a wide range of quality health insurance options
for individuals and families, including lower-cost high deductible
plans, health savings account (HSA) plans and more traditional copay
plans. In addition, Golden Rule offers short term health insurance
designed to bridge gaps in health insurance coverage for workers
between jobs who find COBRA too costly or who are not eligible for
COBRA, new graduates looking for work, students dropping off their
parents' plans, new employees not yet covered by employer plans,
early retirees awaiting Medicare eligibility and others whose lives
are in a time of transition.
Golden Rule Insurance Company has been a leading provider of health
insurance for individuals and families for more than 60 years and
became a UnitedHealthcare company in 2003. UnitedHealthcare's
personal health plans are offered in 40 states and the District of
Columbia and marketed under the UnitedHealthOne brand.
