Dental
If you see an out-of-network dentist you may experience balance billing
While the coverage levels are richer with the Low Plan, your risk for receiving a balance bill from an Out-of-Network dentist is much greater with the Low Plan as Out-of-Network reimbursement level is much lower. If your preferred provider is outside of the network, it is in your best interest to select the High Plan option.
