Enrollment
Preventive and periodontal dental benefits are included in the Student Health Benefit Plan (SHBP) for primary members (students) and pediatric members (under age 19). Students are automatically enrolled in the Preventive and Periodontics Plan or Pediatric Plan. The Preventive and Periodontics Plan includes coverage for cleaning and x-rays, but not for restorative services such as fillings, tooth removal, and emergency treatment. Preventative services are covered at no out-of-pocket cost once every six (6) months.
If you would like restorative dental benefits (for services such as fillings and tooth removal), you can enroll in the optional Dental Buy-Up Plan for an additional fee. The start date for restorative dental benefits for the Spring 2025 semester is February 1, 2025 and continues through August 31, 2025. To enroll, fill out the online enrollment form or submit an enrollment form to the Office of Student Health benefits by February 6, 2025. Students who are eligible in the fall semester and then join the Dental Buy-Up Plan for the spring semester will be billed the full $984.48. Students who are newly eligible for the spring semester will be billed $492.24.
The Dental Buy-Up Plan is not available to International Scholars.
