ISO Customer Care | Aug 12, 2026

ISO is excited to introduce a new partnership with Ameritas, giving students an easy way to enroll in individual dental and vision insurance options, with plans starting at $19/month depending on your ZIP code.

Simply enter your ZIP code to see the plans available in your area, compare your options, and choose the coverage that works best for your needs and budget.

Dental & Vision Work Differently in the U.S.

If you’re new to the U.S. healthcare system, one thing may be surprising: medical, dental, and vision coverage are often separate.

Your health insurance may help with eligible doctor visits, hospital care, prescriptions, and other medical services, while routine dental and vision care may require separate coverage.

That’s why ISO’s new partnership with Ameritas gives students another way to explore dental and vision coverage based on where they live.

Dental Coverage

Ameritas offers multiple dental plan options with different levels of coverage and benefits.

Depending on the plan selected, options may include:

  • Preventive dental care, such as exams and cleanings
  • Coverage for eligible basic and major dental services
  • Access to participating dental providers
  • Different annual maximum benefits and coverage levels
  • Additional plan features depending on the option selected

Plan availability, pricing, and benefits can vary by location.

Vision Coverage

Students can also compare individual vision plans available in their area.

Depending on the plan selected, options may include coverage for:

  • Routine eye exams
  • Eyeglass lenses or contact lenses
  • Frames
  • Access to participating vision providers

Available vision plans may use provider networks such as EyeMed or VSP, depending on the option selected.

Plan pricing, benefits, provider networks, and frequency of covered services can vary, so you should review the available options carefully before enrolling.

How to Find the Coverage That Fits You

Getting started is simple:

  1. Enter your ZIP code
    See the dental and vision plans available where you live.
  2. Compare your options
    Review pricing, benefits, provider networks, and plan details.
  3. Choose your coverage
    Select the dental and/or vision plan that best fits your needs.
