Wellfleet enhances student dental and vision coverage with Ameritas

As part of our continuing commitment to delivering superior health insurance solutions for college and university students, Wellfleet is pleased to announce a significant enhancement to our dental and vision coverage offerings. Beginning with the 2025-26 plan year, we have established a strategic relationship with Ameritas Insurance Company to provide quotes for fully insured dental and vision products for Wellfleet-insured students nationwide*.

Elevating student health coverage

This partnership represents a meaningful advancement in our student health insurance portfolio. By transitioning from our previous Careington Dental and Davis Vision discount programs to Ameritas’ comprehensive insurance products, we’re taking a substantial step forward in addressing students’ complete healthcare needs.

“Our partnership with Ameritas aligns perfectly with our mission to provide innovative, student-centric insurance solutions,” explains Brian Judy, Executive Vice President of  Student Health. “By offering fully insured dental and vision products, we’re enhancing the overall value and accessibility of essential healthcare services for students.”

Key benefits for students

The new Ameritas partnership delivers several important advantages for student populations:

  • Comprehensive Coverage: Students will now have access to fully insured dental and vision products rather than discount programs
  • Expanded Availability: Coverage options will be accessible throughout most of the United States*
  • Enhanced Network: Students can utilize Ameritas’ extensive network of quality providers
  • Streamlined Experience: Simplified administration and claims processing

Transition timeline

To ensure a smooth implementation, the previously offered Davis Vision and Careington Dental discount programs will be discontinued after the current academic year. The new Ameritas coverage options will be available for institutions to incorporate into their student health plans for the 2025-26 enrollment period.

Supporting educational institutions

At Wellfleet, we understand the critical role that comprehensive health coverage plays in supporting student success and retention. This partnership reflects our commitment to providing educational institutions with cost-effective, high-quality insurance solutions that address the diverse needs of today’s student populations.

For detailed information about these enhanced dental and vision offerings, including coverage options, network details, and implementation timelines, we encourage institutions and broker partners to contact their dedicated Wellfleet account executive.
