Dental Insurance. Help Select our Plan Coverage

Dear FSU Member,

On Wednesday, May 6th you received an email from MTA Health & Wellness Trust with the subject line of Help Shape Your Dental Coverage.

We ask you to please complete the survey.

Background

Our contract (Article 27.9) contains a Health and Welfare Trust. The university contributes funds to the trust which then is used to provide our dental coverage. The Trust is managed by a Board of Trustees.

The past few years, members of each union in the Trust have raised concerns about the dental plan including the number of dentists accepting the Met Life plan. As a result, the Trustees researched other providers and are ready to take a vote on a provider.

The Trustees want to hear from you. Our responses will help the Trustees decide which plan to adopt.

We are including the May 6th MTA Health and Welfare Trust email below.

Sincerely,

Caroline Coscia Jason Rodriquez

Dear MTA Health and Welfare Plan participant,

The Trustees of the MTA Health and Welfare plan are considering changing the dental insurance carrier from Met Life to the Delta Dental Premier/PPO Plan. Before we make the decision, we would like to find out which carrier best suits your needs. Please take 5 minutes to fill out this survey.

We have a very tight timeline to make this decision so we need to hear from you by this Friday, May 8th at 5:00 p.m. Please do not include any identifying personal information in your answers to the survey (such as social security number, etc.).

We appreciate your assistance with this important decision.

In Solidarity,

MTA Health and Welfare Trustees
