Review the Dental Plan Contract posted below for details on waiting periods, exclusions and benefit amounts. NOTE: Orthodontic services are for eligible dependent children up to age 19 if the treatment has begun by age 17.
Deductibles and Benefit Limits are per benefit period, except the Orthodontic Benefit Limit which is a lifetime limit.
