Other Important Information
This Benefit summary of the Aetna Dental Maintenance Organization (DMO®) provides information on benefits provided when services are
rendered by a participating dentist. In order for a covered person to be eligible for benefits, dental services must be provided by a primary care
dentist selected from the network of participating DMO dentists. Out of network benefits may apply. Please refer to your Schedule of Benefits.
Due to state law, limited (varying by state) DMO® benefits for non-emergency services rendered by non-participating providers are available
for plan contracts written in: CT, IL, KY, MA and OH and for members residing in OK (regardless of contract situs state).
Attention Massachusetts residents: Before enrolling, you should be aware that our network of preferred providers in Massachusetts has
providers mainly in the following counties: Barnstable, Berkshire, Bristol, Essex, Hampden, Hampshire, Middlesex, Norfolk, Plymouth, Suffolk
and Worcester. Your out of pocket expenses will be higher if you do not see an in-network provider and, in some plans, benefits may not be
available at all for out-of-network providers.
Specialty Referrals
1. Under the DMO dental plan, services performed by specialists are eligible for coverage only when prescribed by the primary care dentist and
authorized by Aetna Dental. If Aetna's payment to the specialty dentist is based on a negotiated fee, then the member's copayment for the service
will be based on the same negotiated fee. If Aetna's payment is on another basis, then the copayment will be based on the dentist's usual fee
for the service, reviewed by Aetna for reasonableness.

Plan 73
Effective Date: 01-01-2019
The replacement or addition of teeth is required to replace one or more teeth extracted after the existing denture or bridgework was installed.
This coverage must have been in force for the covered person when the extraction took place.
The existing denture, crown; cast or processed restoration, removable denture, bridgework, or other prosthetic service cannot be made
serviceable, and was installed at least 5 years before its replacement.
The existing denture is an immediate temporary one to replace one or more natural teeth extracted while the person is covered, and cannot be
made permanent, and replacement by a permanent denture is required. The replacement must take place within 12 months from the date of
initial installation of the immediate temporary denture.
The extraction of a third molar does not qualify. Any such appliance or fixed bridge must include the replacement of an extracted tooth or teeth.
Tooth Missing But Not Replaced Rule (Does not apply to TX and CA contracts.)
Coverage for the first installation of removable dentures; fixed bridgework and other prosthetic services is subject to the requirements that such
removable dentures; fixed bridgework and other prosthetic services are (i) needed to replace one or more natural teeth that were removed while
this policy was in force for the covered person; and (ii) are not abutments to a partial denture; removable bridge; or fixed bridge installed during
the prior 5 years.
Alternate Treatment Rule: If more than one service can be used to treat a covered person's dental condition, Aetna may decide to authorize
coverage only for a less costly covered service provided that all of the following terms are met:
(a) the service must be listed on the Dental Care Schedule;
(b) the service selected must be deemed by the dental profession to be an appropriate method of treatment; and
(c) the service selected must meet broadly accepted national standards of dental practice.
If treatment is being given by a participating dental provider and the covered person asks for a more costly covered service than that for which
coverage is approved, the specific copayment for such service will consist of:
(a) the copayment for the approved less costly service; plus
(b) the difference in cost between the approved less costly service and the more costly covered service.
