Policy Statement

- No services were used under your current plan AND
- A change in plan type application must be received within five days of submitting your original dental application.

If Approved:
- Coverage of the new plan will be effective retroactively back to the effective date of your original plan choice for the current plan year.
- Processing can take up to 5-10 business days
- A credit or an additional fee for the differences in plan types will be applied to your student account within 10-20 business days
- Re-enrollment back into your original plan choice will not be an option once this application is submitted
- Dependents will be enrolled in the same plan type as the student
- Appeals to this policy will not be considered
Example of Submitting a Change in Plan Type Application:
If you submitted a dental plan enrollment application on August 1, and you decide you want to change the plan type that you elected to enroll in, you will have five days from the day that you submitted your dental application to request a change in plan type.
This means we must receive your request to change the plan type by August 6th (this is five days). If your application is received on August 7 (6 days after you submitted your original enrollment application), your request to change plan type will not be processed.
Once this change request is submitted, you will not be eligible to make any additional changes. Appeals to this policy will not be considered.
