About this file
This is a Schedule of Benefits document for a Comprehensive Dental Basic Plan providing dental expense insurance coverage to Travis County Healthcare District d/b/a Central Health, underwritten by Aetna Life Insurance Company in Texas. The plan became effective March 1, 2021, with a plan issue date of April 3, 2023, and a revision effective date of March 1, 2023. The policy number is GP-0285663. The plan covers a comprehensive range of eligible dental services categorized into three expense types: Type A (diagnostic and preventive care), Type B (basic restorative care), and Type C (major restorative care), plus orthodontic treatment. Covered services include oral evaluations and cleanings (up to 2 visits per year), diagnostic imaging, restorative treatments, oral surgery, periodontal care, endodontic treatment, prosthodontics, and orthodontic treatment for both adolescents and adults. Additional preventive services are provided at no cost to members with specific medical conditions including pregnancy, coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, and diabetes.
The plan establishes an individual Calendar Year deductible of $50 and a family deductible of $150 for both contracting and non-contracting dental providers, with the deductible waived for Type A expenses and additional eligible dental services. Coinsurance rates are consistent between contracting and non-contracting providers at 100% for Type A expenses, 80% for Type B expenses, 50% for Type C expenses, and 50% for orthodontic treatment. The Calendar Year maximum benefit is $1,500 for all covered services, with a specific lifetime maximum of $1,000 for orthodontic treatment. The plan includes various frequency and temporal limitations on specific services, such as the one crown per tooth every 8 years replacement rule, and denture or bridge replacement limited to once every 8 years. Members may access customer support through Aetna's self-service website at www.aetna.com or by calling 1-877-238-6200.

Schedule of benefits
This schedule of benefits lists the eligible dental services, deductibles, coinsurance, maximums, and other limits that apply to the services you get under this plan.
How to read your schedule of benefits When we say:
- “Contracting dental provider coverage” we mean that you get care from contracting dental providers.
- “Non-contracting dental provider coverage” we mean that you can get care from non-contracting dental providers.
The deductibles and coinsurance listed in the schedule of benefits below reflects the deductibles and coinsurance amounts under your plan.
You must pay any deductibles and your part of the coinsurance.
The coinsurance listed in the schedule of benefits reflects the plan coinsurance percentage. This is the coinsurance amount the plan pays. You are responsible for paying any remaining coinsurance.
You must pay the full amount of any dental care services you get that are not a covered benefit or that exceed your Calendar Year maximums or lifetime maximums.
This plan also has limits for some covered benefits. For example, these could be visit limits. They may be combined limits between or separate limits for contracting dental providers and non-contracting dental providers unless we state otherwise. See later in this schedule of benefits for information about limits.
Important note:
All covered benefits are subject to a Calendar Year deductible and coinsurance unless otherwise noted in the schedule of benefits below.

General coverage provisions This section explains the:
Deductibles Maximums
Calendar Year deductible Eligible dental services applied to the non-contracting dental provider deductibles will be applied to satisfy the contracting dental provider deductibles. Eligible dental services applied to the contracting dental provider deductibles will be applied to satisfy the non-contracting dental provider deductibles.
Individual deductible You pay for eligible dental services each Calendar Year before this plan begins to pay. This individual deductible applies separately to you and each covered dependent. After the amount paid reaches the individual deductible, this plan starts to pay for eligible dental services for the rest of the Calendar Year.
Family deductible You pay for eligible dental services each Calendar Year before this plan begins to pay. After the amount paid for eligible dental services reaches this family deductible, this plan starts to pay for eligible dental services for the rest of the Calendar Year. To satisfy this family deductible for the rest of the Calendar Year, the combined eligible dental services that you and each of your covered dependents incur toward the individual deductible must reach this family deductible in a Calendar Year. When this happens in a Calendar Year, the individual deductibles for you and your covered dependents are met for the rest of the Calendar Year.
Calendar Year maximum The most the plan will pay for eligible dental services incurred by any one covered person in a Calendar Year is called the Calendar Year maximum.
This Calendar Year maximum applies to eligible dental services provided by contracting dental providers and non-contracting dental providers combined.
Specific dental care lifetime maximum This is the most this plan will pay, after you have paid any deductible, for specific dental care treatment expenses incurred by any one covered person during their lifetime for eligible dental services.
These specific dental care lifetime maximums apply to eligible dental services provided by contracting dental providers and non-contracting dental providers combined.
Any expenses applied to satisfy a specific dental care lifetime maximum will not be applied to satisfy any lifetime maximum.
Your financial responsibility and determination of benefits provisions Your financial responsibility for the cost of services is based on when the service or supply is provided, not when payment is made. Benefits will be pro-rated to account for treatment that occurs in more than one Calendar Year. Determinations regarding when benefits are covered are subject to the terms and conditions of the booklet-certificate.

About contracting and non-contracting providers Your benefits, cost-sharing, and maximums are the same for contracting dental providers and non-contracting dental providers. However, you might pay more when you use a non-contracting dental provider. Non-contracting dental providers do not have to accept the negotiated charge that the contracting dental providers have agreed to be paid. We pay non-contracting dental providers based on the recognized charge, and they may balance bill you for charges over our recognized charge.
