Dental and Vision Insurance Coverage
Cardinal Care
Cardinal Care covers an initial visit to a dentist for injury to natural and sound teeth only. It also covers one annual eye examination. Please contact the insurance office at Vaden so that a referral can be entered for your eye exam to Stanford Eye Clinic. To help you explore options for other coverage, we have developed the following information.
The Vaden Health Center insurance office maintains a list of local opticians, optometrists and opthalmologists that extend discounts to Stanford students.
Vital Savings
Vital Savings is a dental and vision care discount program offered by Aetna. This is not an insurance program, but rather an exciting new way to receive significant discounts on a wide array of services. We at Vaden Health Center endorse this program as an inexpensive and convenient way to receive discounted dental and vision care.
Other Dental Coverage Options
The Insurance Office distributes information about voluntary individual preferred provider dental plans. To request a dental resource packet with information about these dental options (including premiums and how to enroll), stop by the Vaden Insurance Office or send your name and address by e-mail to healthinsurance@stanford.edu.
