State of Texas Dental Choice Plan(administered by GEHA)

The State of Texas Dental Choice Plan is the State’s indemnity plan, which is administered by the Government Employees Health Association (GEHA).

This plan requires a three-year phase-in of its benefits, which means that your benefits increase each consecutive year you are enrolled until your third year, when you receive the maximum amount of coverage allowed by the plan.

You and your eligible dependents can enroll regardless of where you live. The plan allows you to go to any dentist, and your eligible dental work will be covered according to a payment schedule. You have a preferred provider network option, which provides greater benefits, through the GEHA network, CONNECTION Dental.

Dental HMO(administered by AETNA Dental, Inc)

The Dental HMO (DMO) is offered through Aetna Dental, Inc. In order to be covered, you and your eligible dependents must get your dental care in the DMO's Texas service area.

This works like an HMO, because you must select and use a primary care dentist (PCD) from a list of approved providers. Your dependents do not have to live in the DMO service area to be covered. However, they must return to the service area and use their PCD to receive dental care, except for emergency services.
