Dental Care Coverage

Note: The co-pay percentage shown represents the portion paid by the employee. The remaining balance is covered by the plan.

TIP!
If your dentist or orthodontist has recommended a costly procedure, you can request a pre-determination, so that GreenShield can confirm your specific coverage amounts before you make any payments to the service provider.
