HumanaOne Launches HumanaOneDental.com
LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(Business Wire)--
Humana (NYSE:HUM) is now offering individual dental insurance and vision
insurance products online under the umbrella of its individual health business,
HumanaOne®. 

Web visitors can now check prices, compare plans and purchase HumanaOne
individual dental and vision products at www.humanaonedental.com. 

With fewer employers offering group benefits, such as dental and vision, more
people are turning to individual plans like HumanaOne. HumanaOne`s individual
dental insurance and vision insurance products, which are available regardless
of a person`s health condition, help fill that gap. 

Individual dental and vision coverage also is attractive to people who lack
similar coverage through their employer or through Medicare. HumanaOne Dental
plans are affordable with rates in some areas starting at $10.14 per month for
dental insurance or $5.95 per month for a dental discount plan that is not
insurance. The vision insurance plans start at $10 per month. Web visitors can
choose from a number of different plan designs. 

"Sometimes people forget about dental and vision coverage when they`re shopping
for a health plan," said Steven DeRaleau, chief operating officer of HumanaOne.
"That`s a mistake because dental and vision health is closely linked to overall
health. Additionally, plans can be more affordable than one might think." 

Individual dental insurance and vision insurance products work just like group
dental and vision. Members have a network of providers and pay copayments and
coinsurance for services. Unlike individual medical products, underwriting is
not required. 

Humana completed its acquisition of CompBenefits in October 2007 - an
acquisition that has enabled Humana to offer a more comprehensive product
portfolio, including these individual dental and vision plans. Visitors to
CompBenefits` former individual dental and vision Web site,
www.compbenefitsdirect.com, are automatically redirected to the new site,
http://www.humanaonedental.com.
