Pre-Treatment Estimates. i. Pre-Treatment Estimate requests are not required; however, your Provider may file a Claim Form before beginning treatment, showing the services to be provided to you. A Pre-Treatment Estimate will estimate the amount of Benefits payable under the dental plan for the listed services. By asking your Dental Provider for a Pre-Treatment Estimate before the Enrollee receives any prescribed treatment, you will have an estimate up front of what your dental Benefits will pay and the difference you will need to pay. The Benefits will be processed according to the terms of the dental plan when the treatment is actually performed. Pre-Treatment Estimates are valid for 365 days or until an earlier occurrence of any one of the following events: 1) the date this Contract terminates; 2) the date the Enrollee’s coverage ends; or 3) the date the Dental Provider’s agreement with the dental plan ends. ii. A Pre-Treatment Estimate does not guarantee payment. It is an estimate of the amount the dental plan will pay if you are covered and meet all the requirements of the plan at the time the planned treatment is completed and may not take into account any Deductibles, so please remember to figure in your Deductible if necessary.
