Ameritas Group announced today it has added more than 22,000 access points to the Ameritas dental network, bringing the total network size to more than 130,000 access points.
“Many of our insured members will have more choices when selecting a PPO dentist within a particular area and we'll have PPO providers in new areas of the country. A larger geographic reach makes our products more attractive to more employers, especially those with multiple locations.”
The addition of PPO providers significantly extends the presence of Ameritas as one of the nation's leading carriers. Members insured under an Ameritas PPO plan can seek care from any dentist they choose, but may benefit from increased out-of-pocket savings when they visit a dentist on the PPO network.
"This expansion adds value to the PPO products in our portfolio," said Karen Gustin, senior vice president - group marketing, managed care and national accounts for Ameritas. "Many of our insured members will have more choices when selecting a PPO dentist within a particular area and we'll have PPO providers in new areas of the country.
