Orthodontic Services Clause Samples
The Orthodontic Services clause defines the scope and terms under which orthodontic treatments are provided under an agreement. It typically outlines which specific orthodontic procedures are covered, such as braces or aligners, and may specify any limitations, exclusions, or requirements for pre-authorization. This clause ensures that both parties understand what orthodontic care is included, thereby preventing misunderstandings and clarifying the extent of coverage or service obligations.
