The Healthplex Indemnity/PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) Plan gives our members the flexibility to visit any dentist of their choice in or out of the Healthplex network.

In-Network PPO Plan To receive the advantages of In-Network benefits, visit the Healthplex web site at www.healthplex.com to review the Directory of Dentists who participate in the dental plan. The network of participating dentists will treat eligible retired members and their eligible dependents with minimal or no out-of-pocket expense for covered services. When services are rendered from participating dentists in the Healthplex PPO Plan, you will only be responsible for the copayment, if any.

Out-of-Network Reimbursement Plan Eligible members and their eligible dependents may receive services from dentists who do not participate in the Healthplex PPO Plan. You are free to receive dental care from any licensed dentist not participating in Healthplex. When services are received from an out-ofnetwork dentist, Healthplex will pay for all covered services according to the Out-of-Network Schedule of Allowances. For the most current Out-of-Network Schedule of Allowances you can visit the SOC web site. You will be responsible to your dentist for all charges not covered or not paid in full by the plan.

The Healthplex Comprehensive Plan (Dentcare Delivery Systems) is a preventive dental program. Covered services can only be rendered by participating dentists.
