Companion Life Adds Dental Tourism Option to Help Policyholders Save

Date:11/5/2009

COLUMBIA, S.C., Nov. 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Companion Life Insurance Co. has teamed up with a leading medical travel facilitator to offer its dental policyholders preferred pricing on travel and treatment at dental clinics outside the United States.

Traveling abroad for credentialed dental care, also known as dental tourism, helps policyholders maximize their dental benefits. Prices at the international clinics average 60 to 80 percent less than in the United States, so Americans can save thousands of dollars on extensive dental care, even after factoring in travel costs. Members' dental benefits will help cover treatment costs at the overseas clinics.

Companion Life is including the international treatment option in all of its dental programs nationwide, effective immediately. It is offering the value-added service through Companion Global Dental (www.CompanionGlobalDental.com), a division of medical travel facilitator Companion Global Healthcare Inc., based in Columbia, S.C.

Companion Global Dental will arrange travel, make dental appointments, provide round-trip customer service, and even facilitate the scheduling of tours to volcanoes, rainforests, coffee plantations and other attractions for Companion Life members visiting any clinic in its network. The network currently includes three state-of-the-art clinics, all located in Costa Rica, that have completed Companion Global's credentialing process.

"We believe we are the first national dental insurer to provide international travel and care as a value-added option on all of our policies," said J.C. Preas, Companion Life's vice president, field marketing. "This option will allow our members to get the dental treatment they need at a credentialed facility, to save significantly on out-of-pocket costs, and even combine an exciting vacation with their dental treatment."
