 +With the [[http://www.uhs.berkeley.edu/students/insurance/index.shtml|SHIP medical insurance]] provided by the university, you have access to all the medical facilities inside the [[http://www.uhs.berkeley.edu/|Tang Center]].  This includes GPs, specialists, the pharmacy, and the optometrist (though the school of optometry). 
  
 +The SHIP insurance also provides [[http://uhs.berkeley.edu/students/insurance/dentalannouncement.shtml|basic dental care]] (up to $1000 a year in coverage) through Delta Dental for cleanings every six months and most dental needs, including fillings, X-rays, wisdom teeth removal, etc.  This service is provided outside the Tang Center, and [[http://deltadentalins.com/UCB/|the dental care website]] (company name: SHIP) provides a long list of dentists that are covered by the insurance.  To help you find a good dentist, here are the names of some dentists that have been tried and liked.  (If you add a dentist here, please use the appropriate smiley face to indicate your level of satisfaction.)
 +
 +**Note: as of 15 August 2010, dental coverage has switched from MetLife to Delta Dental, so your favorite dentist may no longer be a preferred provider!  See the "basic dental care" page above for benefit levels at in-network vs. out-of-network providers.**

 +**Note the second: it appears that now Amy Lee has decided not to waive the out-of-network fees. There was no official announcement that I know of, but I got a bill for a routine cleaning, and after calling the office, was told they were not waiving the fee any more. (4/11/13)**\\
