For dental programs, UnitedHealthcare Dental has signed on as a new national program, while Dominion Dental and Health Partners are the two new regional carriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feds have the option of one new vision carrier \u2014 MetLife Vision \u2014 for 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Employees that are happy with their current health insurance plans can do nothing and be automatically re-enrolled in the same plan for 2021, but those employees may be able to get the same coverage for a lower price but with a different carrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OPM has also pressed insurance providers to more broadly cover <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/2020\/10\/14\/how-feds-will-receive-covid-care-under-2021-health-plans\/\" target=_blank>COVID-19 care<\/a> and telehealth, with mandates that providers waive cost-sharing and prior authorization requirements for any COVID-19 diagnostic and antibody testing and that an FDA-approved vaccine be covered for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
