About this file
This document is a Summary of Benefits for the Premier DPPO 2 Dental PPO plan, effective October 1, 2021, offered by Solstice Benefits, Inc. for the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners in Florida. The plan provides comprehensive dental coverage across preventive, diagnostic, basic, major, and orthodontic services through both in-network and out-of-network provider options. Coverage includes routine services such as oral evaluations, cleanings, and fluoride treatments at 100 percent for in-network providers, basic restorations and extractions at 80 percent, and major services including oral surgery, periodontics, endodontics, implants, and prosthetics at 50 percent for in-network coverage. Orthodontic services are covered at 50 percent for up to 24 months of treatment, with an initial 20 percent payment at banding and remaining costs prorated over the treatment period. The plan features individual and family annual deductibles of $50 and $150 respectively, with an annual maximum benefit of $3,500 per person for non-orthodontic services and a $2,000 lifetime maximum for orthodontic services.
The plan incorporates several cost management features including the Solstice Benefits Booster for increasing calendar year maximum benefits and a Preventive Waiver Saver that prevents preventive and diagnostic services from accumulating toward the annual maximum. Out-of-network benefits are based on the 90th percentile of usual and customary charges, with coverage levels ranging from 90 percent for preventive services to 40 percent for major services. The document establishes numerous service limitations, such as restricting cleanings to two visits per 12 consecutive months, sealants and fluoride treatments to children under 16, and dentures to one replacement per 60 consecutive months. Exclusions include services not listed in the schedule of benefits, cosmetic procedures, experimental or investigational treatments, services rendered outside the United States (except Canada and Mexico for emergencies), and procedures related to war, illegal activities, or intentional self-infliction. The plan does not cover acupuncture, alternative treatments, drugs or medications unless dispensed during the office visit, or services for which copayments and deductibles are routinely waived by providers.
