- Dental Summary Plan Description (SPD)
The University of Maine System is proud to announce that effective January 1, 2011, a new CIGNA Dental PPO Radius Network plan will be available under which many employees will receive single coverage at no cost. The University of Maine System will pay 100% of the single coverage premium for full-time regular employees, 50% of the single coverage premium for eligible part-time regular employees, and 60% of the single coverage premium for eligible temporary faculty. Employees will be responsible for 100% of the dependent portion of the premium regardless of whether they are full-time regular, part-time regular, or eligible temporary faculty.
Dependent children may be covered up to age 26. Also, if you cover one (1) dependent child (age 2 to 26) under the dental plan, you must cover all eligible dependent children.
The dental premiums for
biweekly employees will be
deducted in 24 equal installments over the
course of the calendar year, rather than 26. This
will slightly increase each biweekly deduction;
however, in those 2 months during the year
when there is a third biweekly pay, you will have
a dental premium holiday, with no premium
deducted.
