Now, 11 more insurers have come on board with dental, vision, life, disability, eye care and pet coverage products to round out benefit packages: Allstate Benefits, Delta Dental, EyeMed Vision Care, InfoArmor, ING, MetLife, Prudential Group Insurance, The Hartford, Unum, VPI Pet Insurance and VSP Vision Care.

The exchange will offer online and telephone support to help employees tailor their benefits portfolio. More information is available at mercermarketplace.com.
