EP710 Schedule of Benefits

The network plan that offers maximum coverage with the cost advantages on a traditional indemnity plan.

bulletFREEDOM TO CHOOSE ANY DENTIST
Participants are free to select from a panel of participating dentists or seek care from any non-participating dentist.
 
bulletVALUABLE SAVINGS FROM NETWORK DENTISTS
Network dentists offer savings by agreeing to charge you based on negotiated maximum allowable contracted fee schedule. If you go to a non-participating dentist, the charged amount may be above that charged by a Participating Dentist.
 
bulletNO BALANCE BILLING
A participating dentist has agreed not to charge you any amount for services above the negotiated maximum allowable fee amount. When utilizing a non-participating dentist, you will be responsible for any extra amount charged by the dentist over the CompBenefits negotiated maximum and the customary charge of the dentist.
 
bulletEXTENSIVE NETWORK OF PARTICIPATING DENTISTS
