Dental Information
All registered students are eligible to enroll in the Delta Dental HMO Plan

Insurance Plan does not cover dental care.) The Delta Dental HMO plan is a
managed-care dental program. There are no deductibles and many routine
dental expenses are fully paid by the plan. Other treatments require set
co-payments. When you enroll, you select a Delta Dental HMO network
dentist. For more information about the plan benefits and providers please
