Aetna Dental Plans

Both the Dental DMO plan and the Dental PPO plan cover implants. Please review the plan summaries carefully, as certain restrictions do apply.

Dependents may be covered under the dental plans until the end of the calendar year in which they turn age 26.

The University offers two dental plan options through Aetna:

Aetna Dental DMO

The Aetna Dental DMO plan offers in-network only coverage. There is a digital ID card available for this plan, which can be accessed via the Aetna Health app (PDF) or by logging into your Aetna account.

Enrollment in the plan requires the election of a Primary Care Dentist (please contact Aetna Concierge Services, at 1 (833) 691-1359, to elect a Primary Care Dentist). Referrals must be obtained from your Primary Care Dentist in order to see a specialist.

Once enrolled, please visit Aetna's website to search for an in-network provider in your area.

If you wish to change your Primary Care Dentist, you must contact Aetna prior to visiting another dentist, even if they participate in the Aetna Dental DMO.

Please Note: Annual deductibles, plan maximums, etc. are based upon a calendar year.

Aetna Dental PPO

The Aetna Dental PPO plan offers both in- and out-of-network coverage. Preventive services are covered at 100%. There is a digital ID card available for this plan, which can be accessed via the Aetna Health app or by logging into your Aetna account.

The Aetna Dental PPO plan offers an in-network annual (calendar year) maximum benefit of $2,000 per person and an out-of-network annual (calendar year) benefit maximum of $1,500 per person, once the annual deductible ($50 for an individual, $150 for a family) has been satisfied.

Please Note: Annual deductibles, plan maximums, etc. are based upon a calendar year.
