Welcome

Your dental plan features the largest dental network in Arkansas — including more than 90 percent of all licensed dentists in the state — with access to a broad national network. You may visit any in-network dentist in the Find a Dentist search found on the UAS dental site; however a dentist listed as part of the Select PPO network will result in greater savings for you.

New treatment plan

Your orthodontic benefit allows you to pay your share of the cost in monthly installments instead of one large sum. Your orthodontist will submit a claim with the total cost, length and start date. The initial down payment will be $500 — you’ll pay $250. Remember, the plan has a $2,000 lifetime maximum, and benefits are paid at 50 percent (lifetime max is the total amount the dental plan will pay for orthodontic care).

The remaining balance will be divided by the number of months left in the treatment. You’ll pay 50 percent of each monthly payment until the $2,000 lifetime max is reached. After that, you’ll make the monthly payment in full.

If no more than $750 claim dollars are paid in a calendar year, your calendar-year maximum for the next year will increase by $375 to a maximum of $1,500. You can stockpile $1,500 total rollover dollars.

Yes, your plan includes Dental Xtra. The Dental Xtra program provides at-risk University of Arkansas System members with additional dental benefits when using an in-network dentist.

Dental Xtra provides two additional cleanings covered per year (a total of four) for members with one of the following qualifying conditions: diabetes, coronary artery disease, oral cancer, Sjogren’s syndrome, head and neck cancers, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, end-stage renal disease, metabolic syndrome, stroke or pregnancy. Dental Xtra benefits may not be combined by members with more than one condition.

To register for these additional benefits, select the “Enroll Now” button in the Dental Xtra section. You’ll receive a letter telling you about the additional dental benefits you’re eligible to receive.
