Dental Coverage
MSU offers dental coverage administered by Delta Dental Plan of Michigan (traditional dental) and Aetna (a dental maintenance organization) for regular full-time and part-time (50%-89.9%) faculty, academic and support staff employees. New employees have 30 days from the date of appointment to enroll.
Payroll deductions for dental premium, if applicable, are withheld on a pre-tax basis (before federal, state, city and social security taxes are calculated), so employees will save money on their premium.
Delta Dental Plan of Michigan
Delta Dental Plan covers 50% of the usual, customary and reasonable charges for most dental services. Orthodontic coverage is limited to those under 19 years of age and is subject to an individual lifetime maximum of $600. Other covered services are subject to a $600 individual calendar year maximum.
