Covered California, California's health insurance exchange, 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 insurance providers such as Blue Shield of California, Delta Dental, Guardian, and MetLife, according to Benefitspro.com. 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.
CaliforniaChoice private exchange -- one of the first big private exchanges -- says its plan menu will beat the Covered California menu. The unit that runs the exchange says it will offer plans from two plans missing from the Covered California menu -- Aetna and Anthem.
The company also says that, unlike the public exchange, its exchange will offer vision, chiropractic, and life plans.
