Open Enrollment
Plan
Dental
Anthem Dental Blue replaces HumanaDental as UofL's dental provider. Anthem Dental Blue is a PPO plan. You can see any dentist, but will save more money and receive more benefits when you go to a dentist in the Anthem Dental Blue PPO Network. Dentists outside the network can bill you for charges above the amount covered by the Anthem Dental Blue plan. As an alternative to dental insurance, the School of Dentistry also provides dental services.
