Dental Plan Riders

  • Participants are required to remain in the dental plan for a minimum of two years.

    All dependents are covered through the end of the month they turn age 26.

    The annual benefit maximums are based on the calendar year and services will follow you throughout the calendar year even when you switch plans mid-year during open enrollment.

    Dental Blue plans give you the freedom to see any dentist. However, it is beneficial to see dentists that participate with us as these dentists have agreed to discounted fees, which result in lower out-of-pocket costs for you.
