Unum, United Concordia join forces to offer Unum Dental

Unum has partnered with United Concordia and will soon offer dental benefits.

“Dental is one of the most popular employee benefits and is an essential piece of a comprehensive employee benefits plan,” says Unum President and CEO Kevin McCarthy. “We’re extremely excited to integrate dental insurance as a complement to our other employee benefits, including short term and long term disability, life and voluntary benefits.”

Unum Dental will offer plan designs that include access to United Concordia’s Advantage Plus network.

“This strategic partnership plays a pivotal role in giving us the distribution capacity needed to add significantly more lives,” says Daniel Lebish, chairman and CEO for United Concordia.  

The new dental offering by Unum will be launched in its Washington, D.C. market beginning in the fall with additional markets to be added in 2012.
