Smile Brighter

Auburn University offers a self-insured group dental program for eligible employees with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama acting as an administrator for the processing of claims.

The dental plan contains two options from which to choose: Basic and Expanded. Both options include a 100% benefit for basic diagnostic and preventive services, including up to two dental exams per calendar year. 

Eligibility

Active full-time non-student employees are eligible if the most recent appointment period is continuous for a minimum of one year (nine or 12 months as appropriate to the appointment).

Enrollment

Participation in the program is optional. An employee/dependent who is eligible to participate must elect coverage within 30 days of date of employment or eligibility or during open enrollment.

Once an employee elects to enroll in the plan they cannot change or revoke this election unless there is a change in family status (e.g. marriage, divorce, childbirth, or death of spouse or dependent). All employees who enroll in one of the dental plans will make a commitment to be in the program for at least a two consecutive year period.
