The UA Dental Plan is self-insured and self-funded. Delta Dental of Arkansas is the third party administrator and processes your claims.
The
Dental plan is designed to assist you in maintaining good oral health. The
plan covers basic dental exams, restorative care, cleaning services and
preventive services. It also covers more intensive and specialty dental
needs including fluoride treatments, extractions, sealants, oral surgery,
crowns, bridges, spacers, and implants. This plan is a preventive plan and does not
provide orthodontia benefits.
There is a waiting period before coverage takes effect. Once you enroll and complete the required forms, coverage takes effect the first of the following month.
Be sure to enroll within your first 31 days of employment. Late enrollments are not allowed, nor does the University of Arkansas offer an annual open enrollment. However, if you experience a qualified family event in the future, you have a 31-day window to make changes.
Once you are enrolled you can search for a dentist, benefits, and check your claim status by logging in as a subscriber at Delta Dental. However, do not use the enrollment form found on their website. UA Enrollment forms are available only in Human Resources.
