Onsite dental care event returns to HISD on Nov. 16
Onsite Dental Care returns to HISD for all employees
HISD’s dental insurance provider, Cigna, and partner Biomedent returns to provide onsite dental care to all HISD employees on Thursday, Nov. 16 from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. at Hattie Mae White ESC (4400 West 18th St., Room 2E02). Services include a full exam with charting, X-rays, cleaning, and fluoride treatment. More complex procedures, such as fillings or crowns, would be referred to the employee’s regular dentist.
Employees under Cigna’s PPO would be required to pay their $50 deductible for services. If those employees have already met their deductible for the year, the cost is zero. Those under the HMO or no dental plan at all would pay $100 for the services.
“We were trying to think of a benefit we could provide to employees at little or no cost to them to improve their overall wellness,” said Donna Fernandez, senior manager with HISD Benefits Administration. “This is a pilot program, so if it’s successful, we will continue this onsite benefit to employees.”
