A pretreatment estimate is a form your dentist submits before starting treatment. It tells us about upcoming services and helps us let you and your dentist know what your plan covers and the amount you'll be responsible for. We don't require a pretreatment plan for any service, but we recommend one for any service you consider expensive.
If your plan covers orthodontic treatment, we typically make the first payment three months after the bands are placed on the teeth. We'll send quarterly payments after that. Ask your employer for a copy of your certificate of coverage or view a copy on our member portal for more details.

Ask your employer for a copy of your certificate of coverage or view a copy in our member portal.
