While students can visit ANY dentist of their choice, the following dentists have offered to waive the 20% co-insurance on those services that are covered at 80% (i.e., minor restorative and scaling):

Pay-Direct Cards

Pay-Direct cards can be obtained by visiting the SBTA website and printing off a card.  Students should present the card at their pharmacy when picking up prescriptions or when visiting their dental office.  Please note, some providers will require payment up front and students will have to submit claim forms and receipts for reimbursement from the insurance company.  Please be advised that there is a blackout period for pay direct access during the first part of September when the eligibility list is determined and uploaded.  Students who pay for services to the service provider directly can submit a claim form for reimbursement.
