| *"Patient share" is the coinsurance payment, deductible(s), any amount over the plan maximums and any excluded services. | |
| The enrollee may be charged only the patient share* at time of service. | The enrollee may be required to pay the entire bill at the time of service. |
| Delta Dental Premier dentists agree to accept Delta Dental’s approved UCR amount as payment in full – the enrollee is only responsible for the patient share.* | The dentist may charge any amount and balance bill the enrollee for the difference between Delta Dental’s allowance and the actual charge. |
| The dental office completes and submits claim forms at no cost — the enrollee is never responsible for filing paperwork. | The enrollee may be asked to complete claim forms and/or other paperwork, or may be charged a claim submission fee. |
