About this file

This is a Dental Benefits Summary document for Central Health's Basic PPO Plan, effective January 1, 2026, outlining dental coverage provided through Aetna Life Insurance Company using the Participating Dental Network (PDN) with PDNII and Extend networks. The plan covers preventive, basic, major, and orthodontic dental services for eligible members. Preventive services including oral examinations, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants are covered at 100% with no deductible. Basic services such as root canal therapy, fillings, and extractions are covered at 80% after a $50 individual or $150 family annual deductible. Major services including inlays, onlays, crowns, dentures, and implants are covered at 50% after the deductible, with an annual benefit maximum of $1,500. Orthodontic services for children with appliance placement prior to age 20 are covered at 50% with a $1,000 lifetime maximum and no deductible.

The plan operates on a negotiated fee schedule for participating PDN dentists, with out-of-network payments based on the 90th percentile of billed charges in the geographic area. Members have access to 24/7 emergency dental care coverage for palliative treatment. The plan includes alternate treatment rules allowing benefits for the least expensive eligible service and replacement rules for prosthetic services with specific waiting periods of eight years for crowns and other major appliances. Late entrant rules restrict coverage for individuals age five or older who did not enroll during initial eligibility or open enrollment periods, with exceptions for preventive and diagnostic services. Telehealth dental services are available and reimbursed on the same basis as in-person care. The document specifies extensive exclusions including cosmetic services, court-ordered procedures, experimental treatments, and work-related injuries, with detailed limitations on orthodontia, implants, and prosthetic replacements.

Effective Date: 01-01-2026

Dental Benefits Summary

· You should review the differences in the cost of alternate treatment with your dental provider. Of course, you and your dental provider can still choose the more costly treatment method. You are responsible for any charges in excess of what your plan will cover.
