Participating in a Dental Plan

Coverage Levels

You can choose from three coverage levels:

Employee covers you only.

Double covers you plus one dependent. For example, you could cover yourself and one child or yourself and your spouse or Domestic Partner.

Family covers you, your spouse or Domestic Partner, and your Dependent Children.

Typically, you and your family must enroll in the same plan. For example, if you want to enroll in the MetLife Dental PPO Plan, your children cannot be enrolled in the MetLife Dental Copay Plan. However, if another family member is also a Benefits-eligible employee at the University, that person can elect to enroll in the other plan.

If both you and your spouse or Domestic Partner are University employees, you may each select employee coverage or one of you may choose family coverage. Both of you cannot choose family coverage.
