Who is Eligible?

Benefits eligible retirees and their eligible dependents.

Retirees are offered continued enrollment in the Choices Select Dental Plan only at retirement. If you do not make an election when you first retire, you will permanently forfeit your dental coverage eligibility.

Dental claims are reimbursed based on a fee schedule.  The fee schedule dollar amount is the maximum reimbursement for the specified dental procedure code.  Dental Plan enrollees are responsible for the difference (if any) between the provider's charge and the fee schedule reimbursement amount.  Refer to the Summary Plan Description (SPD) on the Choices home page for complete Dental Plan benefits, Plan exclusions, and fee schedule information.

If an initial down payment is required, Choices will pay up to 50% of the initial payment, up to 1/3 of the total treatment charge. In addition, Delta Dental (Dental Plan Administrator) will establish a monthly reimbursement based on the provider’s monthly fee and the prescribed treatment plan.
