Information on dental (teeth) and eye care
What if I need dental care (care for my teeth)?
Health Services does not provide dental care. If this is needed, we can refer you to a local dentist (tooth doctor). The Student Health Benefits Plan (SHBP) does not provide coverage for dental care, but can save you money on dental services obtained by providers within the Basix network. Any cost for this service will need to be provided by you at the time of the appointment.
What if I have problems with my vision and need eyeglasses or contact lenses?
Health Services does not provide routine eye exams for visual problems and does not provide eyeglasses or contact lenses. The Student Health Benefit Plan (SHBP) does not provide coverage for these services but we can recommend ophthalmologists or optometrists (eye doctor) in the area. Any cost for this service will need to be paid by you at the time of the appointment.
Health Services' medical clinicians do evaluate eye symptoms such as eye pain, redness, discharge or anything else that might indicate an acute eye problem.
