NEW FOR JULY 1, 2025

We will be changing our Dental insurance to Delta Dental of NJ from Horizon BCBSNJ effective July 1, 2025.  Delta Dental’s plan is equal to or better than Horizon’s plan and has significantly more providers.

The open enrollment period is May 16 to May 30 which is when you have an opportunity to change coverage (between Single, Family, Parent/Child, Two Adults) or drop coverage or initiate coverage. If you have no changes, no action needs to be taken and you will have the same coverage under Delta Dental.

If you have changes to Dental coverage, complete an Enrollment/Change Form and email it to Kevin Slattery at kslattery@ucesc.org by May 30th.

DO YOU NEED A DENTIST?

Poor dental health affects more than just your mouth. Strokes and heart attacks have been linked to bad dental hygiene. Many people avoid going to the dentist because of the cost, but dental insurance can help by making dental care more affordable.

Most dental insurance plans cover preventive services free of charge and offer discounts on other treatments. There are many different types of dental plans; some allow you to go wherever you want, while others limit you to a network or even assign you to a certain dentist or office.

Keep that smile looking great by finding out if dental insurance is a viable option for you. Maintaining good dental health is more important than you might think.
