Aetna To Offer Employee-Paid Dental

Aetna is defining “voluntary” to mean that employees are paying at least 50% of the plan premiums.

Program options will include dental maintenance organization plans as well as dental preferred provider organization plans and indemnity plans.

Employers also will be able to choose options such as waiving the deductible for preventive care, requiring a waiting period for services such as root canal procedures, and shifting services such as endodontics and periodontics into the major services coverage category.
