Cardinal Care covers one annual eye examination. For students enrolled in Cardinal Care, a referral is no longer required to schedule the annual eye exam. By scheduling the exam with a Health Net PPO provider, students enrolled in Cardinal Care will pay the $35.00 copay, and Cardinal Care will cover the remainder of the allowable annual eye exam fee.

Cardinal Care includes dental benefits administered by Delta Dental of California. You may visit any licensed dentist under this plan, but maximum value will be acheived by choosing a Delta Dental PPO dentist. Benefits include:
A $25 deductible per year applies to basic services and the maximum benefit (when a Delta Dental PPO dentist is used) is $1,000 per calendar year.
Non Delta Dental network care provided by a licensed dentist is also covered, but at a less rich level of benefits: $50 deductible, coverage at 50%, and a maximum benefit of $750 per calendar year.
For further information about Cardinal Care's dental benefits, please visit the Delta Dental website.
Please note that Cardinal Care medical benefits (through Health Net) cover an initial visit to a provider for injury to natural, sound teeth.
