We know you are concerned about the cost of dental care for you and your family. We are excited to offer Dental Blue PPO, an individual dental plan that is flexible and affordable.

The PPO AdvantageYou have the flexibility of choosing your own provider. Dental Blue PPO is a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) policy, which means that in order to save money, you should choose providers from our PPO contracting network. Blue Cross of Idaho has PPO agreements with dentists throughout Idaho so that you are not billed more than an amount Blue Cross of Idaho has determined to be the maximum allowance for a covered service.

When dental services are provided by a contracting (in-network) dentist, you will be responsible only for the deductible, coinsurance, copayment, and noncovered amounts.

When covered dental services are provided by a noncontracting (out-of-network) dentist, you will be responsible for any deductible, coinsurance, copayment, noncovered amounts, and amounts that exceed our maximum allowance.

DeductibleThere is a benefit period deductible of $50 per person, with a maximum of three benefit period deductibles per family. The deductible does not apply to in-network preventive covered services.

Benefit Period Maximum AmountDental Blue PPO provides coverage up to the $1,000 or $1,500 benefit period maximum, depending upon the option you feel is right

for your family. The maximum benefit amount you choose is per insured per benefit period. Your benefit period is the twelve months following your effective date.

Preventive Dental BenefitsDental Blue PPO pays 100% of the maximum allowance for in-network services after a $20 copayment. Out-of-network services are paid at 70% of the maximum allowance after you meet your deductible. Available benefits include one oral exam every six months, x-rays, cleanings, and fluoride treatments. Certain benefits are only available to dependent children with age maximums. In-network preventive care services are not subject to deductible.

Basic Care BenefitsBasic care benefits cover frequently used services such as fillings and extractions. Basic care services are eligible for payment after the benefit period deductible and a six-month waiting period are met.

Dental Blue PPO pays 80% of the maximum allowance for in-network services and 60% of the maximum allowance for out-of-network services.

Major Care BenefitsMajor care benefits of Dental Blue PPO include crowns, bridgework and root canal therapy. Major care services are eligible for payment after the benefit period deductible and a 12-month waiting period are met.

For major care services, Dental Blue PPO pays 50% of the maximum allowance for in-network services and 40% of the maximum allowance for out-of-network services.

Predetermination of BenefitsWhen a recommended Dental Treatment Plan includes crowns, full or partial dentures, inlays/onlays, periodontal surgery, bridgework, or surgical removal of impacted teeth, the Dental Treatment Plan must be submitted to Blue Cross of Idaho for a predetermination of benefits before treatment begins.

Dental Blue® PPO – An Individual Dental Program

1Basic care services have a six-month waiting period2Major care services have a 12-month waiting period3Deductible applies to out-of-network preventive services, and in- or out-of-network basic and major services

Please note that there is a six-month waiting period for basic care benefits and a 12-month waiting period for major care benefits.
