DENTAL BENEFITS
The Plan provides Dental benefits only to those "Eligible Employees" including their eligible dependents for whom the collective bargaining agreement or other agreement between the Employer and the Union requires the Employer to contribute to the District No. 9, I.A.M.A.W. Welfare Plan for dental benefits. You should consult your collective bargaining agreement and the Supplemental Summary Plan Description to determine whether your Employer contributes for dental benefits under the Core Plan or D9A Plan and whether you meet the Eligibility requirements as set out in the Supplemental Summary Plan Description.
A person eligible for dental benefits may receive covered dental services and appliances from any licensed dentist, medical doctor, doctor of osteopathy, or licensed dental hygienist under the direction of a licensed dentist, and the Plan will pay the portion of the charges indicated below up to the plan maximums indicated below. There is no longer a network of preferred dental providers. Further, there is no longer a requirement that any covered treatment be pre-certified. Claims should be submitted directly to the Plan at:
