Dental Expense Reimbursement Program
Hamilton County Department of Education’s dental reimbursement program is a direct
pay plan which does not involve an insurance company or third party administrator.
Currently there is no charge to eligible active employees and their covered dependents
for this benefit. The intent of the program is to help defray the cost of dental
services for our employees and their families. To be eligible, an employee must
complete the enrollment form electing the dental coverage during the initial enrollment.
Employees may also enroll during the open enrollment period.
All dental procedures are covered as long as the service is provided by a licensed
dentist. The dental program reimburses 80% of the first $250 of dental expenses
and 50% of the next $1,600 of dental expenses up to an annual maximum benefit of
$1,000 per fiscal year. The fiscal year runs from July 1st through June 30th of
the following year. Each covered member is eligible for $1,000 benefit at the beginning
of each fiscal year.
Employees must first pay for the dental services, complete a Dental Reimbursement
Request form with proof of payment and submit to the Benefits Department for reimbursement
within 180 days of dental service. Claims over 180 days old will not be considered.
