The maximum amount payable for all Covered Dental Charges in any calendar year as shown in the Coverage Schedule. The Calendar Year Maximum will apply to each insured person.

The most common charge for similar professional services, drugs, procedures, devices, supplies or treatment within the Geographic Area in which the charge is incurred. The most common charge means the lesser of:
· The actual amount charged by the provider;
· The negotiated rate;
· The usual charge which would have been made by a provider (Dentist, Hospital, etc) for the same or comparable professional services, drugs, procedures, devices, supplies or treatment within the same Geographic Area as determined by Us.
"Geographic Area" means the three digit zip code in which the service, treatment, procedure, drugs or supplies are provided; or a greater area if necessary to obtain a representative cross-section of charge for a like treatment, service, procedure, device drug or supply.

The BasicOne plan is a PPO plan using the Dentemax PPO network and fee schedule for in and out of network benefits. The MAC benefit is payable as a percentage of the network fee schedule regardless of whether the treatment is provided by a network provider. Out-of-network charges in excess of the net work fee schedule are the responsibility of the insured.

Expenses must be incurred while the Policy is in force and the person is covered by the Policy. To be a covered charge, the dental services must be performed by: • A licensed Dentist acting within the scope of his license; • A licensed Physician performing dental services within the scope of his license; or • A licensed dental hygienist acting under the supervision and direction of a Dentist.

A covered charge is considered incurred on the following dates: • For full and partial dentures—on the date the first impression is taken. • For fixed bridges, crowns, inlays and on lays—on the date the teeth are first prepared. • For root canal therapy—on the date the pulp chamber is opened. • For periodontal surgery—on the day surgery is performed. • For all other services—on the date the service is performed.

An alternate benefit will apply: (1) If we determine that a less expensive alternative procedure, service or Course of Treatment can be performed in place of the proposed treatment to correct a dental condition; and (2) the alternative treatment will produce a professionally satisfactory result; then the maximum we will allow will be the Reasonable and Customary charge for the less expensive treatment.

Except in an Emergency, if You need treatment which will cost more than the Predetermination Amount shown on the Schedule of Benefits page, Your Dentist must submit a claim to Us before beginning treatment which describes the treatment necessary and its cost. We have the right to request any additional information We deem necessary to evaluate this claim. This includes, but is not limited to, dental records and X-rays. We will prepare and return to You and Your Dentist an estimate of the treatment and the amount for which benefits are payable. This estimate is not a guarantee of payment by Us.

We will still consider a claim for which You have not obtained prior approval. These claims will be subject to reduced benefits based on Our determination of Reasonable and Customary Charges and Medically Necessary treatment.

This Plan will be coordinated with any other group, blanket or franchise plan under which an individual will receive benefits. This helps keep the cost of the Plan reasonable.
