Other benefits

Taking care of yourself goes beyond finding the right medical plan. UC offers dental plans at no cost to you, if you’re eligible for UC’s full contribution, and extra options to protect you and your family (including your furry friends).

Dental

Choose a Delta Dental HMO plan for lower costs or a PPO plan for more flexibility. Be sure there are dentists available in your area before enrolling in the HMO plan.

There are no changes to benefits this year. If you are not eligible for the full premium contribution from UC, your premium cost for the dental HMO plan will increase by 3.4%. The Dental PPO plan premium remains the same.
