Network savings with freedom of provider choice
Search the applicable network
The carrier's provider locator identifies network options by state and helps consumers find participating dentists.
Compare in-network costs
In-network treatment may reduce the amount a consumer owes and can help limit balance-billing exposure.
Review out-of-network terms
The brochure notes that out-of-network benefits may be subject to balance billing. The policy and schedule of benefits control.
Benefits consumers may want to ask about
Dental accident benefit
Ask whether a separate benefit for injuries to sound, natural teeth is included.
Implant coverage
Ask how implant services are classified and which limitations apply.
National and regional networks
Network availability varies by state and selected plan.
Vision discount access
The brochure references value-added EyeMed discount access for eligible members.
Three steps that help avoid surprises
