Preventive Care Reimbursement

If you have preventive dental work performed at a clinic not designated for your campus, a one-time credit (per academic year) of up to $150 may be refunded to you. This benefit is only for primary members, not dependents. By electing this reimbursement option, you are not eligible to receive coverage for preventive treatment at the Boynton Health Dental Clinic during the plan year.
