Blue PPO Individual
Please contact us for a list of Dental Providers.
Dental Blue® Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)
is an arrangement under which certain dental care providers are
contracted with Blue Cross of Idaho to form a network that offers
you flexible, affordable dental coverage.
We understand how important it is for you and your family to feel
confident about your choice of dentists. With Dental Blue PPO, you
are free to choose any dental care provider inside or outside the
PPO network, although you maximize your benefits when you use providers
that have a Dental PPO contract with Blue Cross of Idaho.
High-Quality Care at a Reasonable Cost
In-network Dental Blue PPO providers agree to write-off any portion
of their fees that exceed the maximum allowance for services you
receive. So, even if the care you receive costs more than the allowable
amount, you will be responsible only for the deductible, coinsurance,
copayment and any noncovered amounts. If you choose to see an out-of-network
provider, you will be responsible for any deductible, coinsurance,
copayment, noncovered amounts, in addition to any amounts that exceed
our maximum allowance. By choosing an in-network provider, you maximize
your dental care benefits.
Annual Maximum Benefit Amount
Dental Blue PPO offers you the flexibility of two different annual
maximum benefit amounts. You may choose a benefit amount of $1,000
or $1,500, depending upon the needs of you and your family. The
annual maximum benefit you choose is per insured per calendar year.
Preventive Dental Services
In-Network Services: Dental Blue PPO pays 100%
of the maximum allowance for covered preventive care services after
a $20 copayment. Preventive services include annual examinations
and routine cleanings. The deductible does not apply to in-network
preventive care covered services.
Out-of-Network Services: Dental Blue PPO pays
70% of the maximum allowance after the deductible has been satisfied
for out-of-network preventive care services.
Basic Dental Services
In-Network Services: After the deductible and
six-month waiting period have been satisfied, Dental Blue PPO pays
80% of the maximum allowance for in-network basic care services.
Out-of-Network Services: Dental Blue PPO pays
60% of the maximum allowance after the deductible has been satisfied
for out-of-network basic care services.
Major Dental Services
In-Network Services: Once the deductible and
12-month waiting period have been satisfied, benefits for root canals,
inlays, crowns, and other major dental services received from an
in-network provider, Dental Blue PPO will pay 50% of the maximum
allowance.
Out-of-Network Services: Dental Blue PPO will
pay 40% of maximum allowance after the deductible and a 12-month
waiting period for out-of-network major care services.

Blue Cross of Idaho pays out-of-network benefits for services provided
