All radiographs must be of diagnostic quality, properly mounted, dated, and identified with ot be reimbursed for, or if already paid for, Scion Dental will recoup the funds previously paid. Restorative Services Reimbursement includes local anesthesia. Generally, once a particular restoration is placed in a tooth, a similar restoration will not be covered for at least 12 months, unless there is recurrent decay or material failure. Payment is made for restorative services based on the number of surfaces restored, not on the number of restorations per surface, or per tooth, per day. A restoration is considered a two or more surface restoration only when two or more actual tooth surfaces are involved, whether they are connected or not. Tooth preparation, all adhesives (including amalgam and resin bonding agents), acid etching, copalite, liners, bases and curing are included as part of the restoration. When restorations involving multiple surfaces are requested or performed, that are outside the usual anatomical expectation, the allowance is limited to that of a one-surface restoration. Any fee charged in excess of the allowance for the one-surface restoration is DISALLOWED. Endodontics Services Reimbursement includes local anesthesia. standards, Scion Dental can require the procedure to be redone at no additional cost. Any , Scion Dental, Inc.

54 Covered Benefits Senior Care Options Program, One Care Program reimbursement already made for an inadequate service may be recouped after the Scion Dental Consultant reviews the circumstances. A pulpotomy, pulpectomy, or palliative treatment is not to be billed in conjunction with a root canal treatment on the same date. Filling material not accepted by the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) (e.g., Sargenti filling material) is not covered. Complete root canal therapy includes all appointments necessary to complete treatment, temporary fillings, filling and obturation of canals, intra-operative and fill radiographs. Periodontics Services Reimbursement includes local anesthesia. Prosthodontics, Removable Provisions for a removable prosthesis will be considered when there is evidence that masticatory function is impaired, a serious aesthetic condition is present, when the existing prosthesis is unserviceable, or when masticatory insufficiencies are likely to impair the general health of the member (medically necessary). It is generally considered that eight posterior teeth in occlusion constitutes adequate masticatory function. One missing maxillary anterior tooth or two missing mandibular anterior teeth may be considered a serious aesthetic problem. Provisions for a fixed prosthesis may be considered when there is one missing maxillary anterior tooth or two missing adjacent mandibul status would justify consideration. A fixed prosthesis may not be utilized to replace an existing prosthesis (either fixed or removable). A preformed denture with teeth already mounted forming a denture module is not a covered service. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Reimbursement includes local anesthesia and routine post-operative care. The extraction of asymptomatic impacted teeth is not a covered benefit.
