Review Your Dental Plan Options

Three dental plan options are available to you through Delta Dental of Michigan.

• Option 1 provides the least coverage. For most faculty, staff, and retirees, the university pays the full premium. You pay for any services that are not covered under Option 1.
• Option 2 provides more coverage with a moderate employee contribution.
• Option 3 provides the greatest coverage with the highest employee contribution and the lowest out-of-pocket costs.

Think About Future Dental Needs

• Will your child have their first dental check up in 2024? Remember to enroll them in a dental plan during Open Enrollment.
• Will you or your covered dependent(s) need a dental service next year? If you are enrolled in dental plan Option 1, consider enrolling in Option 2 or 3 for greater coverage.
• Do you plan to retire next year? Make sure to enroll eligible dependents on your dental plan.
