Who is Eligible?

Benefits eligible employees, COBRA enrollees, and their eligible dependents.

Benefits eligible employees enrolling in the Choices Medical Plan must elect a Dental Plan (Basic Plan or Select Plan).  Note: the Basic Plan provides coverage for a limited range of services including diagnostic and preventive services. 

During annual enrollment, benefits eligible employees may change their Dental Plan option and add eligible dependent children to the Dental Plan.  Important Note:  Annual enrollment for the Plan year is Closed Enrollment for a legal spouse for Dental coverage unless there is a qualifying event.

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.
