Enrolling now, or still weighing options?
1 If your out-of-network dentist charges more than G.E.H.A's agreed-upon plan allowance for a specific service, you are responsible for the difference between the plan allowance and the out-of-network dentist’s charge plus regular coinsurance.
2 Two sets of bitewing X-rays covered per year for members 22 and under. One set of bitewing X-rays covered per year for members ages 23+.
3 Implants are limited to $2,500 per person per year in-network or out-of-network on High. For Standard, implants are limited to $2,500 per person per year in-network, or $2,000 per person per year out-of-network.
4 These benefits are neither offered nor guaranteed under contract with the FEDVIP Program but are made available to all Enrollees who become members of G.E.H.A and their eligible family members.
5 Benefits are based on the plan allowance that is the amount allowed for a specific procedure.
Coordination of benefits — As with all FEDVIP plans, dental benefits available from your FEHB/PSHB carrier will be considered before we calculate benefits under your G.E.H.A FEDVIP plan.
Orthodontic services — G.E.H.A does not cover orthodontic services previously started with another carrier, except for High and Standard members with orthodontics started under TRICARE.
Choosing a dentist — You have the choice of providers. However, for many services, your out-of-pocket costs may be lower when you visit in-network locations. Network providers will not bill you more than the Plan's maximum allowable charge for covered services.
Claim forms — No special claim forms are required. Just send in the itemized bill from your provider.
This is a brief description of services covered under the G.E.H.A Connection Dental Federal plan. For a complete list of plan limitations and exclusions, please refer to the G.E.H.A Connection Dental Federal plan brochure available online at geha.com/PlanBrochureDental.
Let our benefits experts help you choose a G.E.H.A plan that can work for you.
