Dental
Plan Exclusions & Limitations
Limitations
on all Benefits - Optional Services:
Services
that are more expensive than the form of treatment customarily
provided under accepted dental practice standards are called
"Optional Services." Optional Services also include
the use of specialized techniques instead of standard procedures.
For example: a crown where a filling would restore the tooth,
a precision denture where a standard denture could be used,
or an inlay instead of a restoration. If you receive Optional
Services, your Benefits will be based on the lower cost of
the customary service or standard practice instead of the
higher cost of the Optional Service. You will be responsible
for the difference between the higher cost of the Optional
Service and the lower cost of the customary service or standard
practice.

In-Network
Benefits
• Lenses: If prescribed, a pair of single vision or standard
lined multi-focal lenses every 12 months with only a $20.00
co-pay
• In lieu of lenses and a frame, ($20.00 co-payment applies)
you may select from Spectera’s wide variety of covered
contact lenses when obtained from a network provider. A $105.00
credit will be applied toward any fitting fees, and the purchase
of non-covered contact lenses once every 12 months.
• There is a $210 allowance for “necessary”
contacts. (When your vision cannot be corrected to better than
70/20 with standard lenses.)
• One pair of frames (each 24 months) from a wide selection
of high quality men’s, women’s and children’s
frames and a set of lined single/bifocal/trifocal lenses (each
12 months) for a $20.00 co-pay. If you select a frame from outside
the covered selection, you will pay the wholesale cost minus
a $50.00 frame allowance. In the case of retail chain provider
locations, due to their pricing structures, the participant
will receive a minimum $130 frame allowance for frames purchased
at retail chain providers. Please consult with the specific
provider in your area.
• Patient Options: Should you select items not covered
by the program, such as progressive lenses, tints, coatings,
ect., there will be an additional charge. These charges, however,
are below usual retail costs. (Standard Scratch coating is covered
in full at no cost to the insured.)
• To locate an In-Network Provider call 800-839-3242
or use Spectera’s web site www.spectera.com (Click on
provider locator, enter zip code, enter social security number
or [any 9 digit number], enter birth date and click submit.)
Out-of-Network
Benefits
(Out-of-Network
– Reimbursement up to the following amounts once in a
12-month period – frames once in a 24-month period)
Important
Information About Out-of-Network Benefits
Spectera
will accept receipts and reimburse you once each 12 months
(frames each 24 months) (from date of service) when you
use an “out -of-network” provider. While you
can file for reimbursement anytime after you receive your
exam and eyewear, in order to maximize your “out-of-network”
benefits, itemized receipts should be collected (i.e.
several purchases of contact lenses) until they total
(at least) the maximum reimbursement amounts. Be sure
to include with the receipts the participant’s social
security number and patient’s date of birth. MAIL
