Dental Insurance
Anthem Blue Cross | PPO
This plan offers you the freedom and flexibility to use the dentist of your choice. However, you will maximize your benefits and
reduce your out-of-pocket costs if you choose a dentist who participates in the Anthem Blue Cross Dental Complete network. If you
obtain services using a non-network dentist, you will be responsible for paying the dentist up front and submitting a claim to
Anthem for reimbursement. Anthem will not pay out-of-network providers directly. You may also be responsible for the difference
between the covered amount and the actual charges. The chart below provides a high-level overview of your dental plan.

Helpful Tip
We strongly recommend you ask your dentist for a predetermination if the total charges are expected to exceed $200. A
predetermination enables you and your dentist to know in advance what the payment will be for any planned service.
