Overview of Coverage - Dental

A predetermination of benefits permits a review of a proposed treatment in advance and allows for resolution of any questions before, rather than after, the work has been done.

Additionally, both you and the dentist will know in advance the coverage and estimated benefit. A predetermination should be requested when the total charges will be $200 or more.

* Percentages are based on United Concordia Companies Maximum Allowable Charges (MAC). The Maximum Allowable Charge is an amount that UCCI has contracted with in-network providers to accept as payment in full, less any deductibles and co-insurances. Out-of-network providers will accept payment from UCCI for the Maximum Allowable Charge, but may bill you for the remaining amount not covered by the plan. You can maximize your benefits by obtaining services through a participating United Concordia Provider (Advantage Network, or Nittany Dental Network provider in Centre County).
