Full-Time Faculty Medical Coverage
Full-time faculty medical coverage starts on the date of hire and is determined by the faculty member's duration of their teaching assignment and tenure status. Note: Moving from full-time to adjunct status will affect benefits coverage.

USF offers a dental PPO plan through Delta Dental of California, giving you the freedom to visit any in-network or out-of-network dentist you choose. A higher out of pocket expense to the employee may apply if the dentist is not a Delta Participating Dentist.
This incentive plan rewards employees for going to the dentist at least once a year. During the first year, the Delta Dental plan provides 70% of reasonable and customary charges on diagnostic, preventive, and basic dental work up to a maximum of $1,500 per year per participant. Coverage increases by 10% each year after until the fourth year when it reaches 100% if the benefit is used in each prior year. USF pays the full premium for employees and eligible dependents.
Refer to the HR Forms and Compliance Information web pages for Delta Dental's summary plan, claim form, preventative care information, and more.
