Access to Optional Dental and Vision Coverage
STRS Ohio offers optional dental and vision plans to benefit recipients and their eligible dependents. Individuals who enroll in one or both of these plans are responsible for paying 100% of the premium cost.

Enrollment in an STRS Ohio health care plan is not a requirement to enroll in the dental or vision plans. Both plans provide participating provider and non­participating provider bene­fits. For more information about this coverage, call toll-free at 1-888-227-7877. You can view the current dental and vision plan information in the Optional Health Care section.
