Ameritas Dental Insurance
Effective July 1, 2026, Weber State University will be transitioning employee dental and vision insurance administration to Ameritas. The Ameritas Classic Plus network offers a broad selection of providers, and we anticipate a very small increase in the employee-paid portion of the dental premium. However, the plan will cover 100% of preventive care.
Detailed information regarding rates will be announced just prior to open enrollment.
If you currently have EMI Dental, you will be automatically enrolled in the Ameritas Dental Classic Plus plan, effective July 1. If you wish to change your coverage, you must do so during open enrollment, April 13 - May 8.
New Employee Information
New employees with start dates from April 13 to June 30 will be temporarily covered by our original provider, EMI Dental, and then switch to Ameritas effective July 1.
April 13 - May 8: When you enroll in benefits via the New Hire Enrollment app in your eWeber portal, you will only see Ameritas as an option. You will need to enroll in EMI Dental by completing a paper enrollment form with the benefits coordinator.
May 8 - June 30: When you enroll in benefits via the New Hire Enrollment app in your eWeber portal, you will need to complete additional paper forms for both EMI and Ameritas with the benefits coordinator.
July 1 and beyond: Ameritas will be the only dental plan option in the New Hire Enrollment app, where you will enroll in all benefits as a new employee.
