 *     Your dental plan provides that where two or more professionally acceptable dental treatments for a dental condition exist, your plan bases reimbursement on the least costly treatment alternative. If you and your dentist have agreed on a treatment which is more costly than the treatment on which the plan benefit is based, you will be responsible for the difference between the fee for service rendered and the fee covered by the plan. In addition, a pre-treatment estimate is recommended for any service estimated to cost over $200; please consult your dentist.

**     If you visit an in-network provider, the percentage of benefits is based on the discounted fee negotiated with the provider.  If you visit a non-network provider, the non-network percentage of benefits is based on the schedule of Reasonable and Customary Charges in the geographic area in which the expenses are incurred.
