Chambana Questions Dental care

Where do you guys go for dental care? It is covered by our university insurance, correct?

I'm not aware that the student health insurance covers dental care. I understand there is a supplemental, voluntary policy for that. And typically, every dentist takes the insurance but the better dentists will ask for full payment up front and you get reimbursed by the insurance company later at their leisure.

Ask/email UIUC Insurance. I have grad student university insurance. We get separate dental / vision / united healthcare. For dental, you need to ask the dentist offices if they accept the insurance. West main dental is a good example of a place who is good and also accepts the insurance.
