Retiree Dental Plan (Optional)
Administered by Delta Dental, 1-866-579-5717
Who is Eligible?
Benefits eligible retirees and their eligible dependents.
Retirees are offered continued enrollment in the Choices Select Dental Plan only at retirement. If you do not make an election when you first retire, you will permanently forfeit your dental coverage eligibility.
Dental claims are reimbursed based on a fee schedule. The fee schedule dollar amount
is the maximum reimbursement for the specified dental procedure code. Dental Plan
enrollees are responsible for the difference (if any) between the provider's charge
and the fee schedule reimbursement amount. Refer to the Summary Plan Description
(SPD) on the Choices home page for complete Dental Plan benefits, Plan exclusions, and fee schedule information.

Orthodontic Benefit
The Select Plan provides a $1,500 lifetime orthodontic benefit per covered individual.
Benefits are paid at 50% of the allowed amount for authorized services. Treatment
plans usually include an initial down payment and ongoing monthly fees. If an initial
down payment is required, Choices will pay up to 50% of the initial payment, up to 1/3 of the total treatment charge.
In addition, Delta Dental (Dental Plan Administrator) will establish a monthly reimbursement
based on the provider’s monthly fee and the prescribed treatment plan.
