Dental Plan FAQ'sGeneral Provider Questions
What is the Prepaid Dental Plan?It is a dental network plan that arranges for provision of covered dental services through a contracted network of private practice dentists. A plan member must see their selected Plan Dentist in order to receive benefits. The member pays any applicable copayment(s) at the time of treatment according to the Copayment Schedule. Except in the case of a dental emergency, services provided by out-of-network dentists are not a covered benefit, unless pre-authorized by the Plan. Except in very limited circumstances, there are no claim forms to submit. You are compensated through the combination of the periodic capitation payment and the member copayment paid at the time of service.
