Vision Benefits

UNE offers vision coverage to our full- and half-time faculty and professional staff. The primary insurance benefit is offered through your health care election. Health and vision benefits are directly linked so that the level of vision coverage is based on the health plan you elect. Additionally, Northeast Delta Dental offers a discount program to those who participate in the dental plan.
