Dental PPO Supplement by Ameritas

Dental work becomes more expensive every day and as many discover, as you get older, you require more major dental work. What used to require a filling, now requires a crown or implant. While your current dental plan pays a portion of the cost, many people quickly learn there are still a lot of out-of-pocket costs. This supplemental dental plan coordinates with your existing PPO plan and is designed so you should have little-to-no out-of-pocket costs for covered dental procedures like crowns, dentures, and implants. Should your spouse or children not be covered by your dental plan, this plan can be used as a full-service, standalone plan.

Each covered member and dependent** receives a generous $1,500 annual benefit. This plan will pay 70% of the cost of your covered procedures, whether it is a routine cleaning or something more major like a crown or denture. This plan will also cover up to $500 for the surgical portion and components of an implant. Related components like the crown are covered under their respective category at 70%.

This plan offers a unique Dental Rewards® benefit which provides members additional “banked funds” to use for covered procedures. Any member or dependent who use less than $750 of their annual benefit will automatically have additional funds deposited toward their calendar year maximum in future years.

As an added benefit, members who visit the dentist at least once during the year will have their Basic Services Network benefit level increased by 5% the following year - up to 85% maximum.

Ameritas has the largest dental network nationwide. There are over 325,000 providers to help ensure that you have access to quality dental care at deeply discounted prices. Ameritas has a well-earned reputation of having some of the best Network Provider discounts in the industry. Additionally, many Ameritas providers have agreed to extend deep discounts on non-covered procedures, such as cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening.
