A health insurance giant is building its ancillary benefits operation.
WellPoint Inc., Indianapolis, has acquired DeCare Dental L.L.C., Eagan, Minn., a dental plan administrator that runs dental plans for 21,000 groups with about 4 million plan members.
DeCare already has been running the dental plan marketed by Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield, New York, which is now part of WellPoint, according to DeCare.
