I think we've got one here that will be successful in the short term and really successful long term.
Chattanooga-based Unum Group’s expansion in the U.S. dental and vision insurance business will launch on Jan. 1 as the company aims at rapidly ratcheting up revenues in the sector.
“You feel the buzz,” Unum U.S. President Mike Simonds said. “Everyone is working hard to get Unum-branded products in the market.”
Unum vision will roll out nationally next month. Unum dental will go live in the Southeast and Midwest in January and then throughout the nation a year later.
Unum, a market leader in workplace employee benefits such as disability insurance, sees the potential of vision and dental premiums hitting about $500 million in five years.
