News & Updates
UHC provided three important updates on their Specialty products.
Dental 5% Rate Cap Extended Through July 2021
The UHC Dental Rate Cap Program guarantees that groups enrolling in a new plan will receive no more than a 5% increase at their first renewal. UHC is excited to announce that they are extending the Dental Rate Cap Program through July 2021 effective dates!
Guidelines:
Enhanced Dental Plan Options
FlexAppeal Enhanced (X series) and Preventive MaxMultiplier (H series) dental plans are a great way to strategically position additional benefits for a group either as single option or part of a dual option strategy.
Dental plan codes that include the letter X offer white composites, up to 4 cleanings per year with a supportive diagnosis as well as coverage for implants.
Dental plan codes that include the letter H do not apply preventative and diagnostic services towards the annual maximum. Members can reserve their annual max dollars for future restorative services.
Off-Cycle Specialty Adds
UHC allows certain Specialty products to be added off-cycle without any approvals. Save time and add the Specialty now instead of waiting for the renewal date!
The below products do not need approval to be added off-cycle:
