Services received from a doctor may still be covered, though the cost will be higher. An annual eye exam and discounts on eyewear and lenses are provided as part of the in-network medical care plan provisions. Both are designed to promote good dental health for employees and their eligible dependents through coverage for a broad range of dental services and supplies. Emphasis is on quality service at a fair price. General dentistry services are provided by a network dentist who will make referrals to participating specialists if required.
Most preventative procedures are free, and fees are reduced on all covered services.
There are no claim forms, deductibles or annual dollar maximums. Services are provided by any dentist chosen by the employee. Reimbursement is provided for all or part of the costs up to the annual dollar maximum after individual co-pay. Pre-determination is available and strongly advised when extensive work is proposed. Provident is the carrier.
