<p>I was looking at the Yale Health Plan and it doesn't seem to cover anything dental-related. What do Yalies usually do to take care of dental check-ups/problems?</p>
<p>I figured the phrase "Mental Hygiene" (in the health plan brochure) simply had a missing D in it. Either this, or psychiatry-neurology has become more advanced than I ever thought :)</p>
<p>Haha.Thanks, frrrph, I didn't catch that. =)
I'm still unsure, though, because I thought I read something about Yale not covering anything dental and so all incoming students should take care of dental stuff before arriving at Yale...although I'm not sure how up-to-date that information is.</p>
<p>Does anyone else have any idea how dental coverage works at Yale? Or whether there is any?</p>
<p>Hope this helps. Not sure how applicable it is, I'll get back to you when I've researched some more.</p>
<p>Apparently, the Co-Health plan one can choose to enroll in (starting at $40) only ensures savings when using dental/vision services, esp. in the New Haven area. It can save you up to 46% percent, but does not give full coverage.</p>
<p>Why thank you, frrrph! Thank you very much! =D</p>
<p>A lot of people just rely on <a href=“http://www.dentalcall.com”>discount dental</a> plans like the ones at [NJ</a> Dental Plan | NY Dental Plan | Discount Dental Plan](<a href=“http://www.dentalcall.com%5DNJ”>http://www.dentalcall.com) and they help lower payments to easily affordable levels.</p>
<p>Somewhat related - just something to keep in mind. </p>
<p>Last year DD was out of state doing a Yale sponsored activity. She has Yale coverage (as well as our coverage). She had an incident that required immediate attention. The adults asked whether she wanted them to go to the ER or take her home and then go to a doctor. She opted for the latter. Unfortunately, because she did that, the episode was no longer considered an emergency. FORTUNATELY - we had other coverage, because she had to demonstrate proof of coverage before anyone would even see her. </p>
<p>So - if you ever need treatment when you are out of state & it might be considered an emergency - don’t be stoic. Opt for the ER route.</p>
<p>Lol “mental hygiene”</p>
