Your Health & Welfare Plan partners with Dental Health Services to deliver high quality, affordable dental services through a network of independent dental offices.
To enroll for initial coverage, select a participating dentist from the Dental Health Services directory at dentalhealthservices.com. Enter your choice on your Dental Health Services Enrollment Form. Send the completed form to the Fund Office by mail or email within 60 days of your eligibility date.
New participants must enroll for dental coverage within 60 days of the date when first eligible. If not, your dental coverage may be delayed . If you enroll after the first 60 days, your dental coverage becomes effective the month following the date when the form is received, not retroactive to your initial eligibility date. Contact the Anthem Blue Cross to verify coverage before scheduling dental care.
If you did not enroll for dental coverage when first eligible, you can enroll at any time by downloading the Dental Health Services Enrollment Form and returning the completed form to the Fund Office. Be sure to select a participating dentist at dentalhealthservices.com and enter your choice on the form. Coverage begins the month following the date your properly completed form is received by the Fund Office.
Your plan covers routine and pre-existing dental conditions including regular preventive care, tooth decay, periodontal conditions, root canals and missing teeth. However, treatment already in progress upon enrollment is not a covered benefit.
