Own Your Benefits: How to Access Your Benefits Accounts
Many of the benefits offered by the University have their own unique platform in which a member can log into to assist in managing their benefits. The platforms may contain specific data pertaining to the members account, or additional benefits and tips to utilizing the plan. Examples would be MyWellmark for your health plan, Delta Dental for your dental plan, ASIFlex for your flex spending account, or IPERS and TIAA for retirement. If you want more information regarding a specific benefit, and how to log in, please take a look at Human Resource Services How to Access Your Online Benefits Accounts webpage.
Own Your Benefits: Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
Summer is a great time to remind those who have elected an FSA that it can be used on many over-the-counter items. Sunscreen and over-the-counter allergy medications are eligible for reimbursement. For a listing of eligible expenses, as well as over-the-counter eligible expenses, visit the FSA website.

Own Your Benefits: One Dental Plan, Two Networks
Delta Dental, our dental plan vendor, recently wrote about network savings in the Delta Dental Benefits Spotlight. Our UNI Dental Plan has two networks, the Delta Dental PPOSM and Delta Dental Premier®. Delta Dental wrote the differences as:
- Delta Dental PPO: Dentists in this network agree to the lowest fees for services and includes 43% of Iowa dentists.
- Delta Dental Premier: Dentists in this network agree to lower fees for services and includes 93% of Iowa’s dentists and 80% of dentists nationwide.
You can check to see which network your dentist participates in by using the Find a Provider Tool or by asking your dentist.
