Ameritas Increases Dental Network by 5,100 Access Points
Ameritas dental plan members will soon have a larger network of access points. Through a new network-sharing arrangement with United Concordia, Amertias Classic and Classic/Plus will increase their dental network access points by more than 5,100.
This shift will improve their overall network utilization by approximately 2%. The expansion gives Ameritas dental plan members access to more money-saving network providers than ever before.
Through the enhanced nationwide dental network providers and out-of-pocket savings of 30 -45%, this is an opportunity for clients to offer their employees a comprehensive dental plan they will actually use.

Beginning on January 1, 2025, Ascension Personalized Care (APC) will no longer offer insurance plans. Client coverage will continue through December 31, 2024, at which point members are eligible to find new insurance during the Open Enrollment Period.
APC plans to send print and digital communications directly to clients beginning July 1, 2024. These letters will explain the withdrawal, continued coverage throughout the year, and options for finding new insurance next year to ensure members understand the impact and feel supported through Open Enrollment.
Agents will receive copies of these communications before their clients and are asked not to share these materials or other information with members until after July 1.
At this time, agents or members are not needed to take action.
Members can only enroll in or change plans outside of Open Enrollment if they qualify for a Special Enrollment Period. Members can qualify for Special Enrollment based on certain life events, like marriage or having a baby. APC's removal of its health plans from the marketplace at the end of the year does not qualify members for Special Enrollment.
Agents looking for a new carrier to move current APC clients to can call Messer Financial Group for assistance at 866-568-9649.
