Specialty Benefit
When you need to see a specialty dentist
The Specialty Benefit (SB) offers three benefit options when seeking treatment from a specialty dentist. With the Heritage Plus plan, a referral is not necessary to seek treatment from a specialty dentist.
When seeking treatment by an SB Plan Specialty Dentist including in-network Endodontists, Periodontists or Oral Surgeons who accept the SB Copayment Schedule. Here is how the benefit works:
- For a service listed on the SB Copayment Schedule, you will pay a fixed copayment amount for the service. The copayments are considerably lower then a specialty dentist’s normal retail charge.
- For procedures not listed on the SB Copayment Schedule, you will receive a 25% discount (15% discount for Endodontist) off the specialty dentist’s normal retail charge. This includes a 25% discount on orthodontic and pedodontic services as well!
- To find an SB Specialty Dentist, go to Find a Dentist. When making an appointment, please confirm that your chosen specialty dentist participates in the SB.
If you do not see a Plan Specialty Dentist who participates in the SB, the following options are available to you. It is recommended that you call Member Customer Service at 800.443.2995 for assistance in determining the best option for you.
