HumanaOne New Individual Dental Insurance and Vision Plans

“We’re excited to be expanding to new areas of the country at a time when more and more people are in the market for individual health products, including dental and vision plans,” said Steven DeRaleau, chief operating officer of HumanaOne. “These are affordable plans for the self-employed or for people who may not have dental and vision coverage through their employer’s group plan.”

Both plans are available regardless of a person’s health condition, with some plans starting at as little as $13.99 a month in some states.

The dental PPO plan, called HumanaOne Dental Preventive Plus plan, offers coverage within network on many diagnostic and preventive procedures, including office visits, periodic oral evaluations, examinations (routine, emergency, periodontal), cleanings, X-rays, sealants and fluoride treatments. Members can choose from more than 125,000 providers nationwide. The plan, which is being offered through HumanaDental Insurance Company, is currently available in 30 states with plans to expand to 46 states.

The vision plan, called HumanaOne Vision Care Plan (VCP), offers annual eye exams and lenses for a low copayment. It includes a wholesale frame allowance and discounts on Lasik. More than 25,000 provider locations are available, including independent optometrists and ophthalmologists. The plan, which is being offered through Humana Insurance Company, is initially available in 16 states with plans to expand to 23 states.

“It’s important not to neglect your teeth and or eyes,” DeRaleau said. “Studies have shown a strong connection between oral and ocular health and overall health.”
