Important things you should keep in mind about these benefits:
 
  • Please remember that all benefits are subject to the definitions, limitations, and exclusions in this brochure and are payable only when determined to be necessary for the prevention, diagnosis, care, or treatment of a covered condition and if they are determined to meet generally accepted dental protocols.
     
  • The calendar year deductible is $0 if you use an in-network provider. If you elect to use an out-of- network provider, the Standard Option has a $75 deductible per person; High Option has a $50 deductible. Neither Option contains a family deductible; each enrolled covered person must satisfy their own deductible.
     
  • There is no High Option Annual Benefit Maximum for non-orthodontic in-network services, and $3,000 for out-of-network services.
     
  • The Standard Option Annual Benefit Maximum for non-orthodontic services is $1,500 for in-network services and $750 for out-of-network services. In no instance will BCBS FEP Dental allow more than $1,500 in combined benefits under Standard Option in any plan year.
     
  • All services requiring more than one visit are payable once all visits are completed.
     
  • The frequencies between your FEHB and BCBS FEP Dental policy are combined not separate. (ex. If 2 oral exams are covered under your FEHB policy, and 2 oral exams are covered under BCBS FEP Dental a total of 2 oral exams will be covered and coverage will coordinate between both policies)
