UniCare Dental PPO Schedule of Benefits -- Illinois*

Coverage is provided ONLY for the services stated in the following schedules. To use these schedules, check your dentist’s fee and then determine how much the plan pays. You can then easily calculate what you will pay for a specific service after your deductible has been met. The plan pays either the specified amount, or the actual amount charged by your dentist, whichever is lower. You are responsible for any charges in excess of the stated benefit for both contracting (network) and non-contracting (non-network) dentists.
