BENEFITS
Dental Insurance
Anthem | DHMO Dental Plan
With the Dental Health Maintenance Organization (DHMO) plan through Anthem, you are required to select a general dentist to
provide your dental care. You will contact your general dentist for all of your dental needs, such as routine check‐ups and
emergency situations. If specialty care is needed, your general dentist will provide the necessary referral. For covered procedures,
you'll pay the pre‐set copay or coinsurance fee described in your DHMO plan booklet. Please keep a copy of your booklet to refer
to when utilizing your dental care. This will show the applicable copays that apply to all of the dental services that are covered
under this plan.
Anthem | PPO Dental Plan
With the Anthem Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) dental plan, you may visit a PPO dentist and benefit from the negotiated
rate or visit a non‐network dentist. When you utilize a PPO dentist, your out-of-pocket expenses will be less. You may also obtain
services using a non-network dentist; however, you will be responsible for the difference between the covered amount and the
actual charges and you may be responsible for filing claims.

We recommend you ask your dentist for a predetermination if total charges are expected to exceed $300. Predetermination
enables you and your dentist to know in advance what the payment will be for any service that may be in question.
