Covered California will start off offering small-group, child-only dental coverage from seven carriers.
Managers of California’s public exchange said the small-group dental menu will include products from the giants, including Blue Shield of California, Delta Dental, Guardian and MetLife.
Another big player, WellPoint’s Anthem unit, will sell child-only dental coverage through the individual exchange but not the small-group one.
Rates begin at $8 per child per month.
