The Affordable Care Act allows state-based heath exchanges to
determine whether or not to offer stand-alone vision and stand-alone
dental plans. After careful consideration, the Maryland Health
Benefit Exchange board decided not to offer these plans when open
enrollment for Maryland Health Connection begins for individuals on
October 1, 2013, and small businesses on January 1, 2014. Options to
offer stand-alone vision and dental plans in the future are under
review.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
