ALTERNATIVE PROCEDURES W eere may be two or more methods of treating a dental condition. The amount of Covered Expense will be limited to the charge for least costly procedure or treatment which: (1) the dental profession recognizes to be Professionally Adequate, in accord with widely accepted standards of dental practice; and (2) the Company determines to be both Adequate and Appropriate, in view of the Covered Person's total current oral condition. To determine its liability for a dental procedure submitted for consideration, the Company may request the pre- operative dental x -rays and any other pertinent information. Based on its review of this information, the Company will decide which procedure would provide Professionally Adequate restoration, replacement or treatment. The Covered Person may receive the more expensive procedure or treatment. However, the Company's liability for Covered Expense will be limited to the least expensive procedure which it determines to be Professionally Adequate care. To find out in advance what charges or alternative procedures will be considered Covered Expenses, a Covered Employee may use the Dental Claim Procedure for Predetermination of Benefits, described in this Policy. • • GL11 -13 -AP 19 09/01/01
