CU Anschutz Student Dental Insurance Plan - Anthem BCBS

EFFECTIVE 8/1/2023:

Dental and medical coverage will no longer be separated. If you choose to opt in for medical, dental is included in the insurance fee. The dental coverage will be with Anthem Student Advantage, so if you were previously covered under the school dental plan your ID number will be changing.

University of Colorado Anschutz student dental insurance is included with the medical coverage offered by Anthem Student Advantage, billed as one fee each semester.  

The Student Dental Plan offers an affordable in-network options for student dental insurance and includes great benefits like:

  • A $0 deductible for in-network providers

  • A mobile app to access your ID card and plan anytime
  • 80 percent coverage for most basic services (fillings, root canals, etc.)
