Valassis offers you dental plan options to help cover dental expenses
for you and your eligible family members. Each option offers coverage
for preventive services and basic and major restorative care. Certain
options also cover a portion of the cost of orthodontia. The options
include:
- Dental Maintenance Organization (DMO)
- Basic Plan
- Buy-Up Plan
You may enroll for dental coverage without enrolling in medical coverage
through Valassis. You may also waive dental coverage.
Dental care services are covered at different levels, depending on
which plan you choose. Here's a summary of your various options for
