Dental Care Schedule

Applies to Covered Services Provided by General Dentists Only

Covered dental services shown in the Dental Care Schedule must be performed by General Dentists at the dental office location; except for Referral Care to Specialty Dentists when approved by Aetna or for Out-Of-Area Emergency Dental Care.

The Dental Care Schedule shows the patient payment that applies to some dental services. You are responsible for making the patient payment to the General Dentist at the time services are performed.

Only services in the schedule below are covered under the Plan.  Any services not specifically listed are the responsibility of the member and are payable at the dentist's usual and prevailing charge.

Specialty Dentists: When individual case circumstances or the severity of your condition are such that the covered dental procedure cannot be performed by a General Dentist, the General Dentist may refer you to a Specialty Dentist.  You may also access a participating Specialty Dentist without a referral.  Specialty Dentists include Oral Surgeons, Orthodontists, Endodontists, Periodontists, Pedodontists, and Prosthodontists.

The Patient Payment for services provided by a Specialty Dentist is 75% of the dentist's usual charge for the service.

The Aetna DMO Participating Dentist Listing for the State of Texas DMO Plan can be viewed under "Health and Dental Links" at: www.ers.state.tx.us.

If you wish to select or change your General Dentist or need assistance with selecting a Specialty Dentist, please contact Aetna Dental Customer Service at 1-800-275-1794 for assistance.
