The Medical &
Dental C
onnection An undeniable relationship exists between a healthy mouth and overall good health. That means it’s more important than ever for individuals to get regular preventive dental care that will help to maintain or improve good oral and overall health. Infections, nutritional deficiencies and even diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke often appear in the mouth as well as the body. High levels of bacteria in the mouth lead to higher levels of bacteria in the body, which can be a factor in certain diseases.
An undeniable relationship exists between a healthy mouth and good overall health. That means it’s more important than ever for individuals to get regular preventive dental care that will help to maintain or improve good oral and overall health.
Our ability to integrate medical and dental claims information may have a positive impact on members overall health and claims experience. Our Oral Health for Overall Health approach makes financial sense not only for members, but also for employers as they look to increase productivity, lower absenteeism costs, and promote employee overall health and satisfaction.

Groups can buy up to the 60th, 70th, 80th, or 90th percentile.3Waiting period may be waived for an additional premium for groups 51+.4Members who have oral cancer, diabetes, coronary artery disease, Sjögren’s syndrome, stroke or are pregnant may be qualified for enhanced dental benefits. These condition-specific benefits are paid at 100% and are not subject to deductibles, coinsurance, or calendar-year maximums when performed by a participating dental provider.5Discounts for value-added orthodontic and cosmetic benefits are only available to insured members in Florida. Certain dentists have voluntarily agreed to offer a 20% discount off their usual charge for non-covered cosmetic or orthodontic services. These dentists are identified by an affiliation to either the Cosmetic Dental Discount Program or Orthodontic Discount Program. Because these dentists are neither contractually nor legally bound to offer these discounts, we recommend that you contact the provider to inquire about the continued availability of any discount prior to scheduling an appointment.
NOTE: This chart highlights available BlueDental plans. A variety of specific plan combinations are available. BlueDental Choice Plus plans must be sold to groups with a minimum of 51 employees. Benefit plan designs may be limited to specific combinations. BlueDental Care prepaid plans are available in limited service areas in Florida.

Value-Added Benefits Depending on the dental plan selected, members may be eligible for value-added orthodontic and cosmetic dentistry discounts.
Orthodontic Discount* Program Members that choose an orthodontist in our orthodontist provider network will receive 20 percent off their total case fee. This discount is available to members who do not have orthodontic coverage as part of their plan.
Cosmetic Dentistry Discount* Program Members can experience significant savings on cosmetic dentistry procedures by visiting a dentist who participates in our cosmetic dentistry network. Members receive a 20 percent savings on the following procedures:
• Cosmetic Contouring• Laminate Veneer (porcelain or composite)• Whitening (in office or at-home system)
Optional Benefits Maximum Rollover Depending on the dental plan selected, members may be eligible for Maximum Rollover. Maximum Rollover is a BlueDental Choice benefit that rewards members just for visiting the dentist. There is no paperwork to complete. Each year when members visit the dentist and use less than the yearly claim payment threshold, they receive rollover dollars to help cover future unexpected visits or higher out-of-pocket costs for complex procedures. It’s that easy. Maximum Rollover is applied automatically as long as:
• Members receive at least one covered service during their plan year
• They are active members of their plan on the last day of the plan year
• They don’t exceed the claim payment threshold in their plan year
Orthodontia Rider A separate Orthodontia Rider is available for children up to age 19 or for all insureds on many plans.
