Dental Expenses

International students have the opportunity to utilize the Dental Savings Program operated by Basix "to provide students access to general and specialty dental care from a select network of local dentists". The above quote is located on page 6 of the Student Medical Insurance Plan pamphlet.

Please refer to the Basix web site for a list of local dentists participating in the dental savings program.

The list of local dentists who participate in the plan includes pertinent contact information such as their address, phone number, etc. Remember that this is a DISCOUNT PLAN and does not pay for services in full.

You can also call Basix at 801-274-7800 with any questions you may have. Unfortunately, at the present time there are no dentists in South Hadley listed among the providers. The closest dentists are in Amherst or Holyoke. However, you can travel to Amherst on the Five College bus and visit a dentist there.

Be sure to check the "fee schedule" on the web page to see what you would have to pay for various services. You will notice that you will save a lot by going to a dentist on the provider list.
