Dental Coverage

Dental care does more than protect your teeth. Regular exams and cleanings help prevent cavities, gum disease and other oral health issues. Your plan includes routine preventive care, orthodontia benefits and access to large provider networks. Learn how to access care through your selected dental plan below.

Expanded Coverage

In addition to your medical coverage, you have access to vision, hearing and reproductive health benefits through separate plans and provider networks. Learn what’s covered and how to get started.

Keeping Your Coverage Active

Work Required Hours

Work 80+ paid hours per month to maintain individual coverage or 120+ paid hours per month to maintain Coverage for Kids. Need more hours? Try Carina, a free job-matching benefit that helps you find more clients.

Report Hours on Time

You must report your work hours each month. Late or adjusted hours must be submitted to your employer within 60 days of the worked month.

✓ Pay Monthly Co-premium

Your co-premium is your monthly payment ($25 or $125 with Coverage for Kids). It’s usually deducted from your wages, but if it can’t be, you’ll receive a letter and email with self-pay instructions.

Your coverage status is based on the hours you worked 2 months earlier. For example, the hours you work in January determine your coverage in March.

Use this chart to see how the month you work connects to the month your coverage applies.

Grace Months

Unpredictable schedules can make it difficult to meet required work hours. The Grace Months benefit helps ensure continuous healthcare coverage, even when you’re unable to work as planned.

Each coverage year (August–July), you receive 2 Grace Months
that automatically extend your healthcare coverage for 1 month when your work hours fall below the requirement.

If you have Coverage for Kids,
this protection applies to your dependents too. If you meet the hours for your own coverage but fall short for Coverage for Kids, a Grace Month will be used to extend your children’s coverage for that month.

  • You get 2 Grace Months per coverage year (August–July).
  • Each Grace Month extends coverage for 1 month if you don’t meet the required work hours. A Grace Month covers both you and your dependents’ coverage.
  • Grace Months apply automatically—no action is needed.
  • You can check your available Grace Months anytime by logging into your health benefits account.

When do my Grace Months reset?
They reset on August 1 of each year and are available as soon as you’re enrolled.

Do unused Grace Months carry over to the next year?
No. Each year on August 1, you receive 2 Grace Months. Unused Grace Months don’t roll over.

Can I use my Grace Months for consecutive months?
No, you cannot use Grace Months 2 months in a row.

What if I work enough hours for individual coverage, but not enough for Coverage for Kids?
In this case 1 Grace Month will be applied to extend your children’s coverage for that month.

If I use a credit, do I still pay my monthly co-premium?
Yes, you are still responsible for your co-premium that month.

IMPORTANT HEALTH COVERAGE TAX DOCUMENTS

Form 1095-B is an IRS tax form that shows whether you and your dependents had minimum essential health coverage during the previous year. Beginning with the 2024 reporting year, the Paperwork Burden Reduction Act relaxed the requirement to provide Forms 1095 to each covered individual.

This means that you can find your copy of Form 1095-B online through the BenefitScape web portal.

  1. Visit https://eeportal.bencorpaca.com/ to register for eDelivery.
  2. Enter the following information:
    • CompanyCode: BG1234
    • Your date of birth
    • Your home zip code
  3. After enrolling you will receive an email directing you to create login credentials.
  4. Once registered, you will receive a confirmation email and can download your form and print as needed for your records. If you need a mailed copy, BenefitScape will mail one to you within 30 days.

If you have questions or need help registering, please contact the Customer Service team at 1-877-606-6705.
