Plan B: Moderate Option
Plan B offers a moderate level of dental coverage. This plan stresses preventive care to help you and your family avoid serious dental problems. The plan pays 100% of the covered cost (reasonable and customary charges) of preventive services. It also pays 80% of the covered cost (reasonable and customary charges) of basic restorative services, and 50% of major services and orthodontia care. The maximum benefit you can receive under this plan each year is $1,500 per person in-network, or $1,000 out of network. Orthodontia carries a separate $1,500 lifetime maximum in-network.
Plan B also includes a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) feature, which gives you the option of receiving care from PPO participating dental care providers and paying less out-of-pocket.
Participating dentists agree to charge negotiated rates. These rates are typically lower than the rates charged by non-participating dentists. This means that when you visit a participating dentist, your out-of-pocket costs may be less. Here’s an example of how you might save money using a participating dentist compared to a non-participating dentist.
Here’s an Example
Let’s assume you need a major procedure that’s covered at 50%:
Participating Dentist | Non Participating Dentist | |
Provider’s Regular Fee | $600 | $600 |
Negotiated Fee | $375 | N/A |
Reasonable & Customary Limit | N/A | $500 |
Plan Pays | 50% of $375 = $187.50 | 50% of $500= $250 |
You Pay | 50% of $375 = $187.50 | $350 ($600-$250 = $350) |
Savings obtained by using a participating provider: $162.50 |
