Preventive care services are not subject to the deductible and the plan covers 100% of the cost if you visit an in-network provider!Maximum RolloverWith Maximum Rollover, you are eligible to roll over a portion of your unused annual maximum. To qualify, you must have had a dental service performed within the calendar year and used less than the maximum threshold. The threshold is equal to the lesser of $700 of the maximum benefit. If the qualification is met, 50% of the threshold is carried over to next year’s maximum benefit. You can accumulate no more than four times the carry over amount. Please be sure to schedule your annual exams because your entire accumulated amount will be forfeited if no dental service is submitted within a calendar year.5VisionYour vision coverage provides a full range of vision care services. You may receive care from any provider you choose, but your benefits are greater when you see a participating provider in the network.
