GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn., Jul 21, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- UNH | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- UnitedHealthcare Specialty Benefits announced today it has been awarded a three-year renewal of its dental contract serving 150,000 State of Connecticut employees, retirees and their families.

"Under our renewed relationship, the State of Connecticut continues to provide employees, retirees and their families with access to high quality dental plans and wellness programs that are affordable and easy to use," said Al Bowles, chief marketing officer of UnitedHealthcare Specialty Benefits.

Two UnitedHealthcare Specialty Benefits solutions were of particular interest to the State of Connecticut:

-- Prenatal Dental Care provides additional preventive care coverage for expectant mothers in their second and third trimester of pregnancy. A mother's healthy teeth and gums during pregnancy have been clinically proven to contribute to her child's overall good health.

-- The Consumer MaxMultiplier increases the amount of overall coverage an individual has and can carry over from one year to the next, in return for obtaining preventive and diagnostic dental care. This carryover feature is especially helpful for people who know they will incur higher dental expenses in the future.

In addition to the renewal for dental benefits, UnitedHealthcare Medical/Oxford, a sister company of UnitedHealthcare Specialty Benefits, will continue to offer medical coverage as an option for employees and retirees through July 31, 2011.
