globy321 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Hi. I was told you can opt out of dental/health plan if you have other private insurance. Do they check with the other private insurance company if you have coverage if you decide to opt out the regular dental/health plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need you to supply your other health plan info before you opt out It is good to have anyway, especially if you travel since it includes travel insurance and emergency dental work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just pay for these health plans but never use it. I rather save $500 and use it on food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future_doc Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 I sincerely doubt they check that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmorelan Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Which school are we talking about here? Probably school specific. Western is just now getting an opt in plan actually so no worries there for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_horrible Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Opt in health, or dental, or both? Sigh, I have 2 cavities and am holding out 'til I try to get some coverage in Sept to fill these puppies. Dental will be the death of me and my bank account. And this is prob just wishful thinking...but is there an opt-in optical plan at UWO? Which school are we talking about here? Probably school specific.

Start this Sept for the first time - just another example of the hippo council working hard for you!!! (end advertising) There is a health plan already there though the USC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
