About this plan

There are more than 3,600 Tier 1 PPO dentists in Michigan, and thousands more nationwide. This all-ages dental plan covers 100 percent of preventive services like exams and cleanings when you see one of those in-network dentists. It also gives you the freedom to choose any dentist you want by helping to cover the cost of care when you see a dentist who isn't in our PPO network.

You can buy this plan if you live in any Michigan county.

Class I services have no deductible. There is a deductible for Class II and III services only. Class IV services are not covered.

Your deductible is the amount you pay for dental services each year before your insurance begins to pay.

Your coinsurance is your share of the costs of a service. It's usually figured as a percentage of the amount we allow to be charged for services. You start paying coinsurance after you’ve met your plan’s deductible.

This is the limit on what your plan pays for dental care benefits for members who are 19 or older when their plan starts. After reaching that limit for the year, you pay for 100% of your dental care.
