Make your annual maximum go further.

The Base dental plan includes a rollover feature. Qualifying dental visits and claim activity can earn dollars toward next year’s annual maximum. Program eligibility, award conditions and limits apply. The Buy-Up dental plan does not include rollover.

Using a dentist outside the network?

Out-of-network benefits use the plan’s usual-and-customary geographic fee allowance. You may owe charges above that allowance in addition to your deductible and cost share. An in-network dentist uses negotiated fees.
