You’re Eligible for SDPEBA Dental and Vision Insurance
Did you know you’re able to enroll in dental and vision insurance through SDPEBA? If you’re in the market for a dental/vision plan, we highly recommend checking our plans out. Below is a quick summary of each plan we offer.
MetLife Dental
We offer two MetLife Dental plans, an HMO plan and a PPO plan. The plans both cover dental procedures and offer a $0 copay for annual cleanings and exams but differ greatly in how you can use your plan.
The HMO plan has you select a dentist while signing up and has a copay model, where the PPO plan uses a coinsurance model that breaks coverage down by category. The HMO offers great coverage but you are limited in which in-network dentist you can see. The PPO plan costs a bit more, but offers more coverage and allows you to see any in-network dentist.
To see which dentists are in-network for either plan click here and follow the instructions under “MetLife Dental.”
VSP
Our VSP plan is a two-pair plan that offers amazing flexibility when it comes to getting glasses or contacts. The plan works on an allowance system meaning you get $170+ to put toward frames or contacts at an in-network retailer (which includes Costco). And then you can do it all over again and get a second pair! That pair can be something specific like sunglasses or computer glasses, or it can be just a backup pair!
Important note about enrolling in either of these plans: if you enroll in either of these plans that will not cancel your coverage through a different dental or vision insurance plan. Before enrolling, be sure to cancel any existing coverage.
