Dental Care Benefit. Claim must be submitted by the end of the calendar year following the year in which the expense was incurred except that proof of claim must be submitted within 90 days of the date on which your insurance is cancelled for any reason. A separate claim form must be filled out for each member of your family for whom you are making claim. The dentist's statement on this form, or any bills supporting your claim, must show the patient's name, dates and nature of the treatment and the charge. If the total cost associated with proposed dental work is $500 or more, a Treatment Plan must be submitted to the insurer as explained in Section 9. You should have your dentist complete a claim form setting out details as to the proposed treatment and the cost and send this form to the insurance company for their review. You will then be advised as to the charges, or portion thereof, which the insurer considers eligible for benefits. Upon completion of the dental treatment you again submit a claim to receive payment of the approved benefits. Failure to see your doctor promptly or to submit your claim together with the doctor's or dentist's report or other itemized statements within the above time limits will result in the rejection of your claim.
