Important Reminder

12-Month Waiting Period when Enrolling in Dental Coverage During an Open Enrollment Period

If you don’t enroll yourself or a dependent in dental coverage when initially eligible, then choose to enroll during a future Open Enrollment, you or your dependent will be considered a "late enrollee" and will be subject to a 12-month waiting period on all dental plans, meaning only diagnostic and preventive care will be covered for the first 12 months of coverage.

Why is This Waiting Period in Place?

Dental services tend to be less urgent than medical services, which leads to "adverse selection", meaning only those who know they need costly services enroll. The uninsured have greater leeway to postpone needed services until they attain insurance to cover them. If left unregulated, this can cost the plan more in claims than the premiums it brings in. The waiting period helps control costs, maintaining a balance between premiums coming in and claims paid out.
