Dental Benefits
Washington Dental Service (WDS) provides Seattle University’s dental coverage. WDS is a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan that will cover your dental claims both in and out of network. You will receive the highest level of benefit if you use in-network providers. You may elect dental coverage independent of your medical/vision coverage.
