Good News! The Ohio Retired Teachers Association has an exciting new solution for your dental insurance and eye care needs.

ORTA has partnered with Association Member Benefits Advisors (AMBA) to offer a choice of two dental insurance plans and a new eye care plan with progressive lens coverage!  You have the option of choosing a dental insurance plan which features very affordable premiums, or a plan which offers significantly richer benefits – it’s your choice! These new plans have been heavily negotiated for ORTA and provide exceptional benefits. The only requirement to participate in these plans is your continued membership with ORTA.

The Platinum and Gold dental insurance plans are available for you to choose from. Below are some of the outstanding features of the Platinum dental insurance plan.

• Freedom to use your own dentist without any reduction in reimbursement percentages

• 100% Coverage for preventative services* with no deductible

• Dental Rewards - can enable your $1,500 calendar year maximum to grow to $2,500

With dental costs increasing rapidly each year, we believe that you will find the comprehensive benefits of the Platinum plan a welcome addition to your overall health care package. For more budget conscious members, we offer the Gold dental insurance plan with lower premiums and higher co-payments.

The eye care plan, through EyeMed, not only covers progressive lenses, but it provides you with access to EyeMed’s vast, nationwide network of ophthalmologists and optometrists. You may also choose from national leading optical providers such as LensCrafters®, Sears Optical®, Target Optical®, and most Pearle Vision® locations. When visiting a network doctor you will receive an eye exam and lenses once every 12 months and frames provided once every 24 months after a minimal co-pay. 

Without EyeMed, you can expect to pay an average of $87 for an eye exam, $216 for single vision glasses, $253 for bifocal glasses, and $327 for progressive lenses glasses. However, with EyeMed your eye exam is fully covered after a $15 co-pay, and your prescription glasses are fully covered up to your allowances after a $25 co-pay.
