Shenandoah Life Announces Accumulated Rollover Benefit for Group Dental
Insurance

New Benefit Helps Keep Participants from Using or Losing Their Benefit Dollars

ROANOKE, Va., Dec. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Shenandoah Life Insurance Company
announced today that it has added a valuable benefit to its group dental
insurance product to reward people who practice good preventive dental care. 

The new Accumulated Rollover Benefit allows participants who have insured
dental claims, but have not used a significant portion of their annual
benefit, to rollover a portion of their unused benefit dollars. By requiring
that some dental claims are filed, the benefit encourages participants to
regularly visit their dentist and to take care of their teeth.  Participants
can use the accumulated benefits to help pay for more costly, extensive dental
work should it be needed in the future. 

"Allowing participants to rollover their unused benefit dollars reinforces the
importance of proper oral hygiene," said Cynthia Light, Vice President of
Marketing and Sales at Shenandoah Life Insurance Company. "Studies continue to
prove the link between oral health and overall health. Taking care of your
teeth and regularly visiting your dentist is essential. The Accumulated
Rollover Benefit stands behind this notion." 

The Accumulated Rollover Benefit is available to all new Shenandoah Life
dental insurance plans where at least 10 employees are eligible. 

Shenandoah Life Insurance Company, headquartered in Roanoke, is a mutual life
insurance company with $1.9 billion in assets and $15 billion of insurance in
force. The company was founded in 1914 and operates in 31 states and the
District of Columbia.
