Your Dental Plan Features Dental Rewards, Hearing Care Benefits as well as LASIK Advantage Benefits.
DENTAL REWARDS
Allows plan members to carryover part of their unused annual maximum. Earn dental rewards by submitting at least one claim for dental expenses incurred during the benefit year, while staying at or under the threshold amount for benefits received for that year.

HEARING CARE BENEFITS

When enrolled in the dental plan, you are automatically enrolled in LASIK coverage. The LASIK benefits increase each year you are on the plan.
