Type D – Orthodontia • Dependent children up to age 26. Age limitations may vary by state. Please see your Plan description for complete details. In the event of a conflict with this summary, the terms of the certificate will govern. • All dental procedures performed in connection with orthodontic treatment are payable as Orthodontia. • Benefits for the initial placement will not exceed 20% of the Lifetime Maximum Benefit Amount for Orthodontia. Periodic follow-up visits will be payable on a monthly basis during the scheduled course of the orthodontic treatment. Allowable expenses for the initial placement, periodic follow-up visits and procedures performed in connection with the orthodontic treatment, are all subject to the Orthodontia coinsurance level and Lifetime Maximum Benefit Amount as defined in the Plan Summary. • Orthodontic benefits end at cancellation of coverage *Alternate Benefits: Where two or more professionally acceptable dental treatments for a dental condition exist, reimbursement is based on the least costly treatment alternative. If you and your dentist have agreed on a treatment that is more costly than the treatment upon which the plan benefit is based, you will be responsible for any additional payment responsibility. To avoid any misunderstandings, we suggest you discuss treatment options with your dentist before services are rendered, and obtain a pretreatment estimate of benefits prior to receiving certain high cost services such as crowns, bridges or dentures. You and your dentist will each receive an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) outlining the services provided, your plan’s reimbursement for those services, and your out-of-pocket expense. Actual payments may vary from the pretreatment estimate depending upon annual maximums, plan frequency limits, deductibles and other limits applicable at time of payment. The service categories and plan limitations shown above represent an overview of your Plan of Benefits. This document presents many services within each category, but is not a complete description of the Plan. Please see your Plan description/Insurance certificate for complete details. In the event of a conflict with this summary, the terms of your insurance certificate will govern.
