Optional Dental Insurance Enrollment Information

Dental insurance is available for all enrolled students of Wesleyan University.

ELIGIBILITY:

Any enrolled student of Wesleyan University is eligible to enroll in the sponsored dental insurance plan outlined below.

THE PLAN OPTIONS:

This is a standalone dental plan that utilizes a national network of providers and offers in and out of network benefits. Please see the flyer (at the bottom of this post) outlining the High, Medium and Low plan options. Pricing is on the flyer as well as a synopsis of the coverage offered. This is dental insurance. It is not a dental discount plan.

ENROLLMENT:

Enrollment is open continuously throughout the policy year.  The Wesleyan University policy year is September 1 to September 1.  

It’s not too late to enroll!

The plan uses a rolling open enrollment. Enrollments received before the 20th of any month would set the effective date as the 1st of the following month. (I.e. 10/15 enrollment=11/1 effective coverage) The premium cost is prorated based on the effective date selected.

Enrollment is completed on-line at http://Wesleyan.dental-enroll.com.   The system accepts credit card or bank draft information as payment. Please note: there is no early cancellation. Once enrolled each student is committed to the plan through to the end of the current policy period. The student can opt to not renew.

ID CARDS/POLICY DOCUMENTS:

When the online transaction is finalized a confirmation email will instantly be sent to you. In that email will be included links to print out your ID cards and policy documents. It is important that you save this email confirmation, as this is the only way to access your ID cards. The email would come from Morgan White Administrators

THE PROVIDER NETWORK:

The provider network is United Healthcare.  To search for in-network UHC providers go to: www.mwgdental.com 

1. Select: “Find a Dentist” (right hand side/green tab on screen) 

2. Click: “Find a Dentist” (right hand side orange “Links & Tools”) 

3. Click: “National PPO Options” (center of screen) There is no need to log-in to search for providers.  At this point you can enter your criteria for your search.

It is advised that you follow up with a call to the provider office to confirm that the in-network status is still valid, as contracts are subject to change.

RENEWAL/CONTINUOUS COVERAGE:

Those students that elect to enroll in this student dental insurance plan will be automatically renewed for coverage upon the expiration of the current policy year.  The system is set up to post the renewal premium charge to whichever payment source was used at the time of enrollment, about two weeks before the current policy year expires. Notification will be sent to you via email when this will take place. That notice will include steps to take should you not wish to renew.

As long as the renewal premium has been paid, this dental insurance plan can continue indefinitely even if you should no longer be connected to Wesleyan University.  

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
