Frequently Asked Questions
Below are answers to the most frequently asked questions regarding the Dental Care Plan.
Can I enroll in the IU Dental Care Plan without being enrolled in one of IU's medical plans?
Yes, eligible employees are able to elect dental coverage with or without electing medical coverage. This also means that eligible dependents who are not enrolled in medical coverage may be enrolled in dental coverage as long as the employee is enrolled.
