SANTA ANA, Calif., Oct. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PacifiCare
Dental & Vision, a subsidiary of Cypress, Calif.-based
PacifiCare Health Systems Inc. (NYSE:PHS) has expanded its dental
and vision access plan, PacifiCare SignatureSavings, nationally
from its predominately Western U.S. presence. Now available in 42
states and starting as low as $5 a month, SignatureSavings is an
affordable alternative to traditional dental and vision insurance
that offers individuals and employers direct access to PacifiCare's
dental and vision provider network with set fee schedules that save
20 to 70 percent off retail charges. There are no limitations,
participation requirements, waiting periods, claim forms,
deductibles, annual maximums or age restrictions. "As more
consumers are required to pay for dental and vision care directly,
they are demanding more broadly available and generally affordable
solutions," said Kelly McCrann, president of PacifiCare Dental
& Vision. "We believe SignatureSavings members will realize
significant savings when they visit their dental or vision
providers. Participants, and their covered family members, whether
seeking routine care or even cosmetic procedures such as
orthodontics, teeth whitening and LASIK can also realize tremendous
savings through the SignatureSavings plan." For example, defining
annual routine care for an individual as two dental exams, two
dental cleanings, one Bitewing X-Ray, one vision exam and one set
of $100 (retail) frames, in Phoenix, the Usual & Customary
Rates for these services can total up to $500. The actual
out-of-pocket costs for SignatureSavings members is about $200.
Adding the program's annual cost for an individual employee of $60,
SignatureSavings members can save approximately $220 on their
annual routine dental and vision care. "PacifiCare SignatureSavings
is an ideal solution for the millions of Americans who may not be
able to purchase dental and vision coverage, but still have
significant dental and vision care needs," said McCrann. "This also
furthers our efforts to present new programs to employers that are
trying to better manage their dental and vision costs or cannot
currently provide dental and vision coverage; such as employers who
have newly hired or part-time employees, associations, or groups
unable to meet minimum-participation requirements." For more
