The following changes became effective November 1 , 2023 , for all members covered by an ARTA Dental Care plan :

• Up to ten ( 10 ) additional scaling units are available for members who have underlying health conditions and require additional scaling because of the health condition , with special authorization as directed by the patient ’ s physician and based on medical need . Any additional coverage needs to be approved by ARTA in advance of the procedures being performed .

Detailed information on these coverage changes is included in the plan booklets , available online at artabenefits . net / benefit-booklets .

Rates for ARTA Benefit Plans increased this year due to inflationary pressures across the benefits sector . For full information on how your rates were impacted , view your renewal statement on MyARTA . net .
