How To File A Claim There is no paperwork to submit for Covered Dental Services received from a Participating Provider. Pay Your share of the cost, if any, Your provider will submit a claim to Us for reimbursement. Claims for services received from a Non- Participating Provider can be submitted by the provider if the provider is able and willing to file on Your behalf. If Your plan provides coverage when care is received only from a Participating Provider, You may still have claims for services received from a Non-Participating Provider. For example, when Emergency Services are received from a Non- Participating Provider, You should follow the claim submission instructions for those claims. Claims can be submitted by the provider if the provider is able and willing to file on Your behalf. If the provider is not submitting on Your behalf, You must send Your completed claim form and itemized bills to the claims address listed on the claim form.

You may get the required claim forms from the website listed on Your identification card, if You received one, or by calling Customer Services using the toll-free number listed below.

Covered Dental Expenses Dental services described in this section are Covered Dental Expenses when such services are:

Medically Necessary and/or Dentally Necessary (refer to the section entitled Definitions);

Provided by or under the direction of a Dentist or other appropriate provider as specifically described;

Covered after Your Deductible, if any, has been met;

Eligible for reimbursement because the maximum benefit in The Schedule has not been exceeded;

The charge does not exceed the amount allowed under the Alternate Benefit Provision; and Not excluded as described in the section entitled General Limitations and Expenses Not Covered.

Alternate Benefit Provision If more than one Covered Dental Service will treat a dental condition, payment is limited to the least costly service provided it is a professionally accepted, Medically Necessary and/or Dentally Necessary, and appropriate treatment.

If the Covered Person requests or accepts a more costly Covered Dental Service, the Covered Person is responsible for expenses that exceed the amount covered for the least costly service. Therefore, We recommend Predetermination of Benefits before major treatment begins.

Predetermination of Benefits Predetermination of Benefits is a voluntary review of a Dentist’s proposed treatment plan and expected charges. It is not preauthorization of service and is not required. The treatment plan should include supporting pre-operative radiographic images and other diagnostic materials as requested by Our dental consultant. If there is a change in the treatment plan, a revised plan should be submitted. We will determine Covered Dental Expenses for the proposed treatment plan. If there is no Predetermination of Benefits, We will determine Covered Dental Expenses when We receive a claim.

Review of proposed treatment is advised whenever extensive dental work is recommended when charges exceed $200.

Predetermination of Benefits is not a guarantee of a set payment. Payment is based on the services that are actually delivered and the coverage in force at the time services are completed.

The following section lists Covered Dental Services. We may agree to cover expenses for a service not listed. To be considered the service should be identified using the American Dental Association Uniform Code of Dental Procedures and Nomenclature, or by description and then submitted to Us.

HCDFB-COV16 06-21

Payment Option If You or any one of Your Dependents, while insured for these benefits, incurs Covered Dental Expenses, We will pay an amount determined as follows:

Dental PPO - Participating and Non-Participating Provider Payment Plan payment for a Covered Dental Service delivered by a Participating Provider is the Contracted Fee for that procedure, times the benefit percentage that applies to the class of service, as specified in The Schedule. The Covered Person is responsible for the balance of the Contracted Fee.

Plan payment for a Covered Dental Service delivered by a Non-Participating Provider is the Maximum Reimbursable Charge for that procedure times the benefit percentage that applies to the class of service, as specified in The Schedule.

The Covered Person is responsible for the balance of the Non- Participating Provider’s actual charge.

HCDFB-DEN132 06-21

Missing Tooth Limitation There is no payment for replacement of teeth that are missing when a person first becomes insured.

This payment limitation no longer applies after 12 months of continuous coverage.

To determine how Your Participating Provider compares refer to Your provider directory.
