Health Insurance for Eastman Dental Center

During the time of your appointment at the University of Rochester, you will be participating in a comprehensive health plan offered by the University Health Service (UHS). The health plan includes a health fee (also called the mandatory health fee) and health insurance.

Your coverage will include:

Health Fee - This fee covers the cost of visits to the University Health Service (UHS) and the University Counseling Center (UCC). The cost is $50/month.

Health Insurance – You must have health insurance. You can enroll in the Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) insurance offered through UHS, or you can remain on your own or your spouse’s health insurance. The cost for the BCBS insurance plan is $94/month.

If you have a spouse and/or children, UHS offers two health insurance options:

If you are married and have no children – You can enroll in two individual Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) plans (one for you and one for your spouse). You both also pay the health fee, which covers visits to the University Health Service and the University Counseling Center. The BCBS Summary of Benefits provides a list of the benefits covered by this plan.

If you have one or more dependent children – The University Health Service offers the University High Deductible Plan. This plan provides coverage for you, your spouse, and your dependent child(ren). Information about the University High Deductible plan is available in Insurance for Families.
