Excellus dental plans are only available for businesses and require a minimum of two employees to enroll. Guardian and MVP PPO dental plans fulfill the pediatric dental rider mandate which will allow medical to be purchased without the pediatric dental rider included.
Below are dental benefits available for Chamber employees only. This benefit will be billed quarterly for all plans. For more information on billing, click here.
*There are no new hire waiting periods on coverage for dental or vision if members enroll within their new hire period. Bond needs to be notified of new hire elections within 30 days of the member’s date of hire or the member would be subject to late entrant penalties for dental, and a lock-out until Open Enrollment for vision. (The signature date on the application will be the effective date if it doesn’t match the listed DOH.)
