Lincoln Financial Group Expands Dental Network Radnor, PA, April 10, 2014 - Lincoln Financial Group (NYSE:LNC) today announced that it has again expanded its Lincoln DentalConnect® PPO Network to include more than 274,000 provider locations across the country, increasing unique providers to more than 89,000. The expanded dental network is a 15.6 percentage increase to Lincoln Financial's nationwide network of dentists, according to Ignition Group's March 2014 NetMinder report. "Lincoln Financial continues to add networks to expand our provider depth and coverage," said Chris Stevens, Vice President, Specialty Health for Lincoln Financial Group. "A larger network means more convenience and less disruption to employees. Adding new networks yields cost savings for our members because they can receive services at a lower negotiated fee when using an in-network provider for their dental services," said Stevens. Employers can share in the value of the expanded network. "Network growth helps streamline benefit costs and improve the overall claims experience," said Stevens. Lincoln also uses active campaigns to promote network awareness and recruit providers. "Active campaigns help ensure employees are recognized as valued Lincoln DentalConnect® members when they visit their dentists," said Stevens. Lincoln also continues to offer a convenient "Find a Dentist" feature, which allows consumers to easily find a dentist by zip code, specialty or by last name, on the home page of its website, www.LincolnFinancial.com.
