PRE-TREATMENT ESTIMATE (PRE-DETERMINATION)

When the expected cost of a proposed course of treatment is $200.00 or more, the covered person's dentist must send us a treatment plan before they begin. A pre-treatment estimate will insure that you know the procedure you are contemplating having done is covered under this benefit plan as well as what your financial responsibility will be. A pre-treatment estimate is not a determination of the need for treatment, only a determination of contract coverage.
