We offer four Dental PPO plans through Anthem Blue Cross; the Premier (4001) dental plan, Standard (3000) dental plan, Value (2000) dental plan, and the Voluntary (1000) dental plan.

Your Dental Plan Options Include:

All four plans allow you to visit any provider of your choice – but you generally receive maximum savings when you use an in-network provider as they have negotiated fees with Anthem. Out-of-network benefits are paid based on what Anthem has determined to be the reasonable and customary (R&C) fee for dental services. Also, if you receive care from an out-of-network provider, you pay the expense up front and then submit a claim for reimbursement.

  • Free annual in-network preventive care
  • Access to Anthem’s large dental network
  • Dental benefits from $1,000 up to $2,500 per person each year, depending on the plan you enroll in, after meeting your annual deductible
  • Orthodontic benefits options available

Anthem Blue Cross dental plans are available on a “stand-alone: basis for all size groups and are a valuable addition to your firms benefits package. The plans cover services when they are provided by a licensed dentist and when necessary and customary, as determined by the standards of generally accepted dental practices. For most of the dental PPO plans, you will be required to meet a deductible for basic and major services before the plan will begin paying a percentage of your costs. All plans cover preventive services at 100%.

If you have current group dental insurance when joining the NBBE program, you may select any plan. If you do not have current group dental insurance when joining the NBBE program, then you must select the Value plan with a 12 month wait for major services for your first year. After your group plan has been in place for 12 months, you may request the 12 month waiting period for major services be removed and during the next open enrollment period you may select any available plan.

The Voluntary Plan (100% paid for by the employee with no employer contribution) must have a minimum of 5 participants in order to be offered.
