Dental Insurance Plan

Benefits eligible employees may enroll in the college sponsored group dental plan. Employees may elect either individual or family coverage.

Coverage becomes effective on the first of the month if it coincides with your date of hire, otherwise coverage begins on the first of the month following your date of hire.

Membership is open to all regular, continuing full-time and part-time employees who work at least 20 hours a week for either the fiscal or academic year and their eligible dependents.  Eligible dependents under these health plans include the employee's spouse or domestic partner and unmarried children. Mount Holyoke College provides health insurance coverage in compliance with Massachusetts Health Care Reform Laws. Please speak to one of our Benefits Specialists if you have questions about covering a partner or dependent.
