Your settlement payment will be based on a reasonable estimate of the percentage of the Class Period that you were a Participating Provider with Anthem. The Settlement Administrator will calculate the amount due to each individual Settlement Class Member who has validly submitted a Claim Form prior to the Deadline for Submission by assigning one point to that dentist for each calendar year during the period from April 15, 1996 through April 14, 2002 in which he or she was an Anthem Participating Provider for any portion of that year. An individual dentist may be assigned a maximum of seven points. After the Deadline for Submission of Claim Forms has passed, the Settlement Administrator shall divide the Residual Corpus by the total number of points assigned to eligible Settlement Class Members on the basis of timely, valid Claim Forms received in order to establish the monetary value of each point (the Point Value ). An individual Settlement Class Member s Share of the Settlement shall be calculated by multiplying the number of points assigned to that Settlement Class Member by the Point Value. Individual dentists who wish to submit a claim on their own behalf (or their legal representatives or heirs) should complete the Section A of this Form. Please note that with the individual dentists authorization, Provider Groups and Provider Organizations may submit Claim Form(s) on behalf of eligible dentists who are, or were, members of that Provider Group or Organization 1 of 8

during the Class Period and who are not also submitting Claim Forms on their own behalf.

Provider Groups and Provider Organizations who wish to submit claims on an individual dentist s behalf should complete Sections B of this Form.
