Proper oral care is clearly essential to helping maintain good health. Research continues to establish links between periodontal disease and several serious health conditions such as heart disease and stroke, osteoporosis, low birth-weight pregnancy, diabetes and respiratory infection.1.
That’s why in addition to health plans, we offer California individuals and families three great dental plans to choose from – two dental PPOs and one dental HMO.
Dental Blue® PPO Plans
We now offer two Dental Blue PPO plans for individuals and families – Dental Blue Basic and Dental Blue Enhanced. Both plans utilize our Dental Blue 100 network, which includes more than 18,600 dentists in California.
A key feature of our Dental Blue plans is that you can take advantage of the rate we’ve negotiated with dentists for:
 |  | Services received during waiting periods |
| | Services received after you’ve reached your annual maximum |
| | Non-covered services, including cosmetic services like veneers |
The Dental Blue Basic plan has an annual maximum of $500 and offers coverage for:
| | Cleanings, exams and X-rays |
| | Fillings |
| | Stainless steel crowns and pulpotomies for baby teeth |
Plus, you get the negotiated discounts on non-covered services like crowns, root canals and orthodontia – and services once you’ve reached your annual maximum.
The Dental Blue Enhanced plan has an annual maximum of $1,250 and includes enhanced coverage:
| | Cleanings, exams and X-rays |
| | Fillings |
| | Major services like crowns and root canals |
| | Orthodontia for children |
Dental SelectHMO Plan
Our Dental SelectHMO plan offers great coverage with lower out-of-pocket costs. It has no annual maximum or deductibles, and features:
| | No charge for cleanings, exams or X-rays after a $5 office visit copayment |
| | Most fillings are covered with no copayment after a six-month waiting period |
| | Coverage for major services like crowns and root canals for fixed copayment amounts |
| | Orthodontics and other services are available for fixed copayments |
Services must be received from in-network dentists – but there are nearly 5,000 in California to choose from!
Remember, good oral health and early disease detection can play an important role in helping you maintain your overall health. For more information on our dental plans, contact your insurance agent today.
