Dental Insurance for Benefited Non-Unit Employees
Dental insurance & vision discount coverage for non-unit benefited employees is provided through the MA Board of Higher Education Health & Welfare Trust Fund.
Coverage is effective the first day of the month following 60 days of covered employment. Employees contribute $11.40 twice monthly for individual coverage or $22.80 twice monthly for family coverage. Premium contributions are payroll-deducted on a post-tax basis one month in advance of coverage.
Employees can enroll for coverage, add/remove dependents or cancel coverage within 30 days of a qualifying event or during October open enrollment for a plan change effective the following January 1 by returning a completed Non-Unit Dental Insurance Enrollment/Change form to the Human Resources Employee Service Center with supporting documentation.
Covered employees can access plan information and download member cards from the plan administrator's website: Health Plans, Inc..
