    3. any chewing injury. A chewing injury means an injury which occurs during the act of chewing or biting. The injury may be caused by biting on a foreign object not expected to be a normal constituent of food; by parafunctional habits, such as chewing on eyeglass frames or pencils; or by biting down on a suddenly dislodged or loose dental prosthesis.
       
    4. crowns, inlays, cast restorations, or other laboratory prepared restorations on teeth which may be restored with an amalgam or composite resin filling;

    17. procedures that are a covered expense under any other medical plan (established by the employer) which provides group hospital, surgical, or medical benefits whether or not on an insured basis;
       
    18. a sickness for which the patient can receive benefits under a workers' compensation act or similar law;
       
    19. an injury that arises out of or in the course of a job or employment for pay or profit; or
       
    20. charges to the extent that they are more than the Prevailing Fee. If the amount of the Prevailing Fee for a service cannot be determined due to the unusual nature of the service, CompBenefits Insurance Company will determine the amount. CompBenefits Insurance Company will take into account: (a) the complexity involved; (b) the degree of professional skill required; and (c) other pertinent factors.
