Dental/Vision
Dental/Vision benefits through the WTU is a negotiated benefit. These benefits are available to all DCPS teachers because DCPS pays the monthly premiums for coverage – teachers pay no premium costs. The WTU offers two Dental plan options: In-Network Only and PPO provided by United Healthcare Dental. Optical benefits are provided by United Healthcare Vision. Enrollment in these plans is automatic for ‘Employee Only’ coverage. However, if you need to add dependents to your Dental or Optical coverage, you must complete this in PeopleSoft during new hire enrollment, open enrollment, or 31 calendar days after a qualifying life event.
