What is the waiting period for services? There are never waiting periods for preventive or diagnostic services. Restorative services are subject to a 6-month waiting period.
 
Is there out-of-network coverage?
In AZ, GA, IL, MO, OH & TX: YES, DentaQuest will pay the same percentage for covered services received in and out of network. But if the member chooses to see a non-contracting dentist (out of network), they will be responsible for the difference between the plan’s allowable charges (what contracting dentists receive for payment from DentaQuest) and the dentist’s usual and customary fees (what the dentist charges cash-paying patients). This means the member saves more by receiving care from a contracting dentist.
 
In FL, IN, LA, PA, TN and VA: NO, If a member visits a dentist who is not in our network, they will be responsible for the entire cost of the services they receive. Members may only receive covered benefits from a non-participating dentist in the event of an emergency dental condition.
 
What are the annual limits and maximums? For covered individuals, the benefits are not limited to a maximum dollar payment for covered services shown in the schedule of benefits.
 
Are dependents covered? Yes, dependent children are covered up to and including age 26.
