Regular dental care is important to your overall health. That’s why Anthem Blue Cross offers several affordable dental plans for you to choose from:

Dental Blue PPO Plans  

Anthem Blue Cross Life and Health Insurance Company's four Dental Blue PPO plans offer a variety of coverage and network options. You can see any dentist, including one of our more than 20,000 Dental Blue dental provider locations -- even dentists outside our network -- but you will usually save the most money when you visit a dentist within your selected Dental Blue network. When you see a Dental Blue dentist, there’s no charge for preventive and diagnostic services, and you’re assured that the dentist will charge no more than the Anthem Blue Cross-negotiated fees. Plus, you can continue to take advantage of our negotiated fees with Dental Blue dentists even after you reach your annual maximum benefit and on services that may not be covered by your plan, such as implants, teeth whitening and braces.

Dental SelectHMOSM Plans  

We offer three dental HMO plans to choose from. You pay only $5 per office visit for exams, cleanings and x-rays. There are no annual deductibles, no annual maximums and no waiting periods for most services. Services must be received from participating dentists.  

Individual Dental PPO Plans  

With the Individual Dental PPO plan, you can visit any of our 12,000+ participating network dentist locations, or a non-participating dentist, though you will usually save money by seeing an in-network provider. For instance, there are no charges for preventive and diagnostic services, when you see an in-network provider. Basic dental care (ex. fillings and extractions) and major dental care (ex. root canals, onlays, crowns and dentures) are covered for reasonable copays.  

Who is Eligible for Anthem Blue Cross Dental Plans  

You and your dependents must be California residents. If you enroll in one of the Dental SelectHMO or DentalNet plans, you and your dependents must select the same participating dental office. Dental providers and locations are different for the Dental PPO and Dental SelectHMO. Eligible dependents include:  

• Your lawful spouse
  
• Any unmarried child under age 19 of you or your enrolled spouse
  
• Any unmarried child, age 19 to 23, of you or your enrolled spouse, who qualifies as a dependent  for federal income tax purposes
  
• A child of you or your enrolled spouse, who continues to be both incapable of self- support, due to  continuing mental retardation or physical handicap, and who is at least one-half dependent on you or your spouse for support.
