Understanding your dental benefits |
We will begin to pay benefits for covered services in any calendar year only after your deductible is satisfied unless otherwise specified.
Once you have satisfied any applicable deductible, we pay a percentage of the allowed amount for covered services up to the maximum benefit. When our payment is less than 100%, you pay the remaining
percentage. This is your coinsurance (insured responsibility).
Under the policy, you have the opportunity to qualify for a reward increase and add certain unused portions of the maximum benefit for the current calendar year to the maximum benefit for the
following calendar year. For more information please refer to the policy.
We do not reimburse dentists for charges above the allowed amount. A participating dentist will not charge you for any balances for covered services beyond your deductible and/or coinsurance amount.
Nonparticipating dentists, however, may bill you for any balances over our payment level in addition to any deductible and/or coinsurance amount. You can find a list of providers at our Web site
or by calling Customer Service. |
