4.1 Medical and Dental Coverage Employees on full-time appointment for nine or more consecutive months per year are eligible for medical and dental coverage plans. Employees who enroll within 60 days of their appointment will be covered from the date of their appointment.
Dental care is only available as an add-on to the medical plan.
If not added at the time of medical plan enrollment, the next opportunity will be the open enrollment following a 12 month waiting period. New dependents may be added within 30 days after becoming eligible. These changes will be effective the month after the request is made. The University will continue to pay its share of the premium. The Plan Administrator will then notify the covered individuals of their rights to continuation coverage.
