Marshall University provides dental insurance through SunLife.

PROTECTS YOUR SMILE.
You can feel more confident with dental insurance that encourages routine cleanings and checkups. Dental insurance helps protect your teeth for a lifetime.

PREVENTS OTHER HEALTH ISSUES.
Just annual preventive care alone can help prevent other health issues such as heart disease and diabetes. Many plans cover preventive services at or near 100% to make it easy for you to use your dental benefits.

LOWERS OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES.
Seeing an in-network dentist can reduce your fees approximately 30% from their standard fees. Add the benefits of your coinsurance to that and things are looking good for your wallet.

Who is Eligible?

  • All active benefit-eligible employees.
  • Retirees – During the 90 days prior to your anticipated retirement date, you have two options;
    • Meet with your Benefits Coordinator (BC) to discuss retiree benefits and complete your enrollment form.
    • Contact FBMC for your retiree enrollment packet.
  • Eligible dependent children – Eligible employees may cover your eligible dependent children to age 26, and spouses.

Assistance Plan – PPO Plan (Preferred Provider Organization)

You can see any doctor you choose, but you can save money when you stay in-network. Typically, your dentist will file claims for you and then you will pay your portion based on your plan.

Consider this plan if:

  • You are concerned about the cost of maintaining your healthy smile
  • You have any upcoming procedures that will require multiple visits to the dentist.
