Plan members receive care from one of the Boston University Dental Health Centers (930 Commonwealth Avenue or 100 East Newton Street). This option provides reimbursement of dental care through a highly cost-effective benefits program based on a fixed capitation rate. However, this requires that all dental care must be received at one of the Boston University Dental Health Centers. Provisions will be made for out-of-area emergency dental coverage.
