Carryover Max℠ $3,000
Carryover Max allows you to accumulate part of your unused benefit dollars from one year into future years. Carried-over benefit dollars increase your annual maximum and help pay for future covered services, such as bridges, crowns, and root canals.
It's easy to qualify.
Get your annual check-up.1 That’s it.
1. If you use less than half of your yearly benefit dollars, we’ll take the difference between your annual maximum and what you actually used and multiply that by 25%.2
2. We’ll add that amount to your next year’s annual maximum to use for planned or unplanned expenses.
3. Unused yearly carryover funds will accumulate (capped at your standard annual maximum amount), so you don't lose them.
4. You can accumulate multiple years’ carryovers (up to $500 per year), potentially doubling your benefit dollars.
You get more flexibility in planning and paying for your dental care, as well as the peace of mind knowing you have more benefits—if you need them, when you need them.
Still have questions about Carryover Max? Call us at 800-452-9310.
1 To qualify for Carryover Max, you must receive at least one cleaning or oral exam during each plan year. If you miss an annual cleaning or exam in a later year, any accumulated carryover will be lost.
2 You can roll up to $500 in unused dollars into the following year. Unused yearly carryovers can accumulate up to your standard annual maximum.
3 If you use less than one half of your standard annual maximum, then you are eligible for Carryover Max.
