Common use of Alternate Benefits Clause in Contracts

Alternate Benefits. If UCD determines that a less costly covered service other than the covered service the Dentist performed could have been performed to treat a dental condition, we will pay benefits based upon the less costly service if such service would produce a professionally acceptable result under generally accepted dental standards. If the Member and the Dentist choose the more expensive treatment, the Member will be responsible for the additional charges, beyond those allowed under this clause. This limitation does not apply to covered implantology services. Alternate benefits applicable to your treatment plan will be determined during Authorization. However, should the services billed differ from those Authorized, UCD reserves the right to determine if an Alternate Benefit is applicable to the actual services rendered.
