2 Introduction There are many things you can do to protect your health. One of the easiest is to follow a regular program of dental hygiene and treatment. Research shows that dental disease; perhaps more than any other can frequently be avoided if a proper care and treatment program is followed. The PCA dental program, through its design incentives, places emphasis on preventive treatment. It also provides assistance if you require more serious, and costly, dental treatment. The way the program pays benefits depends on which dental option you choose. A Snapshot of Your Dental Coverage Here is a snapshot of your dental coverage. The items within the chart (including the types of covered services) are described in detail on the pages that follow. Provision COVERAGE CATEGORIES DENTAL OPTIONS Description Employee only; employee + spouse; employee + child(ren); employee + family CIGNA Traditional Dental Plan + PPO DEDUCTIBLE Preventive and Diagnostic (P&D), and Orthodontia Services Basic and Major Services COINSURANCE Preventive and Diagnostic (P&D) Basic Services Major Services Orthodontia ANNUAL MAXIMUM PAID BY PLAN (per covered individual) (P&D, Basic, Major) LIFETIME MAXIMUMS $0 $50 per person; $150 per family PLAN PAYS: 100% of covered expenses 80% of covered expenses after deductible 50% of covered expenses after deductible 50% of covered expenses $1,500 $1,000 per person for orthodontic services adult or child; $5,000 for periodontal services. The CIGNA Traditional Dental Plan + PPO Employees can visit any dentist they want, employees who use dentists participating in the CIGNA dental PPO network will be billed based on the discounted fees negotiated between CIGNA and the dentist. That translates to savings for the employee since employees pay 20% to 50% of eligible expense, depending on the type of services provided. Also, dentists who participate in the CIGNA PPO network may only bill patients based on CIGNA's prenegotiated rates. That means employees using PPO dentists don't need to worry about being billed for fees that are over CIGNA's reasonable and customary reimbursement limit. If want to find out if your current dentist is in the CIGNA PPO network, or if you want to locate a dentist who participates in the network, you can do so by one of two ways. 2

3 Go to and do the following: Click on Provider Directory on the left side of the main page Select Dentist Enter dentist name to search by name or zip code to search for all dentists in that area Click Next Select Cigna Dental PPO Select a Specialty Click Search Go to and do the following: Click on Find a Dentist in Your Dental Plan under Dental Under Plan Option(s), choose CIGNA Traditional Dental + PPO The Deductible If you elect coverage under the CIGNA Traditional Dental Plan + PPO, you must meet an annual deductible before the plan pays benefits for covered basic, major, and orthodontia services. Covered expenses from all family members can be added together and applied toward the family deductible. Each covered individual is subject to the individual deductible until the family deductible is met, but no single family member pays more than the individual deductible in any calendar year. Once you meet the family deductible, you don t have to pay any more in deductibles for the rest of that calendar year. Copayments Copayments do not apply to the CIGNA Traditional Dental Plan + PPO option. Coinsurance Your coinsurance is the percentage of charges you pay for covered expenses. The percentage you pay depends on the option you select and the type of service you or your covered dependents receive. Annual and Lifetime Maximums If you have CIGNA Traditional Dental Plan + PPO coverage, you and your covered dependents can each receive up to a certain amount in dental plan benefits each year. In addition, there is a lifetime maximum benefit for orthodontic and periodontal services. Alternative Procedures Sometimes there is more than one way to treat a dental problem (e.g., repairing a tooth with a silver filling instead of gold). The plan always bases its definition of reasonable charges on the least costly procedure that treats the condition and meets acceptable dental standards. For a definition of Reasonable and Customary, see Glossary section of this Benefits Handbook. If you and your dentist decide that you want to pursue a more costly covered treatment, you pay the additional charges. If the plan does not cover the service you choose but covers a less costly alternate procedure, the plan does not pay benefits for the more expensive, non-covered treatment. 3

4 Covered Dental Services - CIGNA Traditional Dental Plan + PPO The plan pays benefits for certain dental services, including exams, fillings, X rays, and dentures. Be sure to reference the chart on page 2 for the deductible required and the percentage the plan pays for each category of service.

Replacement of a previously existing bridge, crown, or denture, but only if, according to common dental standards, it cannot be made useable, and: Denture or bridgework is needed to replace one or more natural teeth extracted while you are covered; The denture or bridgework was installed five or more years before its replacement; or The bridge, crown, or denture has been damaged because of an injury while the patient was covered by the plan.

Active treatment each month. Fixed or cemented appliances, up to one appliance per person, to guide a tooth or control harmful habits. Every three months, the plan pays benefits for covered orthodontia services. The plan makes the first payment (equal to 25% of the entire treatment) once the appliance is installed. The plan then prorates all remaining payments over the estimated length of treatment. Dental Expenses Not Covered - CIGNA Traditional Dental Plan + PPO The plan does not cover all types of dental expenses.

Coordination of benefits for this dental program works the same as for the PCA Health Care Plan as described in the Medical Program section of this Benefits Handbook. Third-Party Liability In some situations, another person or insurance company may be legally responsible for your dental expenses. This might happen, for example, if you are in an automobile accident caused by someone else. In that case, the liability for your dental expenses is the other party s, not the PCA dental programs. When this occurs, the PCA Health Care Plan, Dental Program is entitled to repayment from any settlement you receive. When you accept payment from the PCA Health Care Plan, Dental Program, you agree in writing to provide any documents that would allow PCA to recover payments it has made on your behalf, and to refund to PCA whichever is less: The third-party settlement you received; or The amount PCA s program paid. 6

Details of COBRA coverage are provided in the Health & Welfare Benefits Overview section of this Benefits Handbook. Filing Claims CIGNA Traditional Dental Plan + PPO participants must complete a claim form to receive benefits. Here s how to file dental claims: As a non-network participant in the CIGNA Traditional Dental Plan, you receive a dental claim form with your enrollment confirmation. Feel free to make copies of this form and use the copies to file claims. If you need a claim form contact your local on-site HR representative. Complete all parts of the form (including the question about other coverage). Send the completed form, along with your bill or receipt, to the Claims Administrator for processing (the address is included on the claim form). To receive benefits, you must submit all claims by December 31 of the calendar year after the incurred expense. If you have any questions regarding a claim, call or write the Claims Administrator. As with the medical plan, you receive an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) form after you file a claim. The EOB shows whether the plan paid or denied the claim (in part or in full) and gives the reason(s) behind the decision. If you (or the patient) have primary coverage under another group plan, be sure to submit claims to the other plan first. Once you receive a statement or an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from the other plan, submit any remaining expenses to the Claims Administrator. Predetermination of Benefits If your dentist proposes treatment that is expected to cost more than $200, you can find out what charges the plan will cover before the treatment begins. To get a predetermination, have your dentist prepare a treatment plan and submit the plan to the Claims Administrator. Within 10 to 15 business days, you will receive a notice describing how the plan will pay benefits. You should begin the treatment program within 90 days of the day you receive the notice. 8
