Dental Insurance

OU offers you a choice of two plans depending on the level of coverage you and your family may need: the Blue Cross Blue Shield Basic Plan and the Blue Cross Blue Shield Alternate Plan. Both plans cover preventive, basic and major services, but they differ in how they pay for covered services.

Changes in 2024

Dental Insurance

BCBS Dental will continue to serve as your dental insurance for 2024. BlueCare Dental PPO offers you and your family access to one of the largest national dental PPO networks of providers. For 2024, impacted teeth will only be covered under the dental plan with Blue Cross Blue Shield. For employees who have OU health care coverage, the medical provider will cover impacted teeth only in the case of an emergency.
