Small Group Dental Plans

Enhance your employees’ health care coverage by adding a UniCare Small Group dental plan to your company’s benefit package. We offer a variety of coverage and price options, allowing you to provide the dental care your employees may need, within your company’s budget. Like the UniCare medical plans, you may choose one of the following three financing options to provide dental coverage for your employees:

1. Defined Contribution 15
  • limits your monthly contribution to dental coverage to no more than $15per covered employee,
2. Defined Contribution Select
  • empowers you to pay any fixed monthly amount in excess of $15 per employee, or
3. Traditional Contribution.
  • enables you to contribute a percentage of 50% or more of the total employee premium

For all these options, your employees pay any balance of the premium.

Under EmployeeElect, you, the employer, also decide which dental plan options your employees may choose from.

UniCare Small Group Dental Fee For Service (FFS) Plans offer three levels of coverage.
  • Basic Fee For Service
  • Standard Fee For Service
  • High Option Fee For Service
UniCare Small Group Dental PPO Plans offer three levels of coverage.
  • Basic PPO

Fewer independent contracting dentists are available in other areas. UniCare PPO plan members are entitled to the benefits of the negotiated amounts if they choose one of those contracting dentists. Benefits are still available for noncontracting dentists as specified by the plan. If you would like your dentist to become a contracting dentist, please notify Wellpoint Dental Services, 220 Remington Blvd. 1st Floor, Bolingbrook, IL 60440, or call (800) 262-4496, or email dental.referral@wellpoint.com.

All the plans provide benefits for diagnostic services, preventive care, and minor and major restorative procedures. The High Option Fee for Service plan and High Option PPO plan also cover orthodontic care. With all the plans, you and your employees have the freedom to select any dentist you choose.

UniCare’s three Fee for Service Dental Plans let you and your employees know up front in specific dollar amounts how much the plan pays for covered services. This means you andyour employees are able to calculate easily how much you will have to pay once you have determined your dentist’s fee for a specific procedure. You are responsible for charges inexcess of the stated benefit.
