PRE-DETERMINATION OF BENEFITS
How pre-determination works:
- You or your dependent should request that the dentist, after making the diagnosis, outline on the claim form the plan of treatment and the fee for each service to be rendered.
- The claim form describing the treatment plan and any attachments (x-rays and study models if necessary) are to be forwarded by the dentist to Green Shield before treatment has begun. The treatment plan will be reviewed by Green Shield and a determination of estimated payable benefits will be made. The claim form, with allowable benefits indicated, will then be returned to the Covered Person.
- To ensure that you understand the services that the dentist will be performing and the costs involved, you should discuss the certified pre-determination with your dentist before treatment starts
