UNICARE Life & Health Insurance Company has created the Individual Dental PPO Plan to help keep your teeth healthy and your smile bright.  The UNICARE Individual Dental PPO Plan offers you the choice of going to any dentist you choose.  Hundreds of dedicated professionals have contracted with UNICARE Life & Health Insurance Company to provide a wide range of dental services such as routine check-ups, cleanings, fillings, crowns and dental surgery.  When you choose a contracting dentist, you will receive care at negotiated, discounted rates.

The UNICARE Individual Dental PPO Plan carries a yearly $50 deductible per person (maximum of three deductibles per family).  The deductible is waived for Preventive and Diagnostic Care only at Contracting Plan dentists.  All dental benefits are limited to a maximum payment of $1,000 for expenses incurred by each enrolled member during a calendar year.  Should you choose a noncontracting dentist, the plan still provides benefits, but your out-of-pocket expenses may be greater, as the negotiated fees do not apply to noncontracting dentists.  You will be responsible for any charges in excess of the stated benefit.  Your current dentist already may be a contracting dentist.  Be sure to check the UNICARE dental directory before you choose a dentist.  It could save you money.

Dental Benefit Schedules

Coverage is provided ONLY for the services stated in the following schedules.  To use these schedules, determine your dentist's fee then look up how much the plan pays.  Then you can easily calculate what you will pay for a specific service after your deductible has been met. The dollar amounts are maximums. The plan pays either the specified amount, or the actual amount charged by your dentist, whichever is lower.  You are responsible for any charges in excess of the stated benefit.

 

Contracting Dentist		Noncontracting Dentist
If the billed charges are $755		If the billed charges are $755
And UNICARE's negotiated rate is $512		UNICARE will pay the amount specified in the benefit schedule $225*
UNICARE will pay the amount specified in the benefit schedule $225*
Therefore, you pay the difference between the negotiated amount and the scheduled benefit $287		Therefore, you pay the difference between the billed amount and the scheduled benefit $530

* This assumes any deductible has been met and you have not reached your annual out-of-pocket maximum.
