Active Benefits – Dental

Your dental benefits are provided directly by The Security Benefits Fund and administered by

Sele-Dent, Inc.
One Huntington Quadrangle
Suite 1N09
Melville, NY 11747

There is a $1,500 Cap for each family member from January – December

You may obtain a Sele-Dent provider from either their web site

www.Sele-dent.com or 800-520-3368.

Every one of these providers must accept our fee schedule as their full payment, therefore, when you use one of these dental providers there will be no out-of-pocket expense unless you exceed your cap of $1,500 per person for each calendar year or agree to a non covered procedure (see the following for more information).

Whether you are a retiree or active member and you choose to use a non-panel dentist, you or your provider will be reimbursed at the panel schedule; however, you may still be responsible for the balance bill. Make sure to speak with your dentist and understand the billing process before you start any work. All dental forms are accepted so you are not responsible for bringing one with you.

The orthodontic (braces) lifetime maximum for eligible dependent children age 9-18 is $1,000. Sele-Dent, Inc. has various Board Certified Orthodontists who will complete orthodontic cases for a total of $2,400 to $3,300. For a list of these preferred orthodontic locations please visit www.Sele-dent.com

Please note that each member and each eligible dependent is allowed one panoramic x-ray once every year. A full oral examination, full x-ray series and full cleaning is allowed once every six months. Full dentures are allowed to be replaced once every five years. Partial dentures or fixed bridges are allowed to be replaced once every three years. All procedures over $400 must be pre-authorized before any work can be done.

Please note, in order to be seen by a participating dental provider of Sele-dent, you will be required to provide them with the last 4 digits of the member’s social security number and your license or picture ID. Please do not give the full social security number and if there is any problem, please have the office call Sele-dent and speak with Kevin.

If you choose a dentist who does not participate (does not have a signed contract) in our plan, you may be required to pay the full bill directly to the dentist and then you will be reimbursed according to our fee schedule. Your dental claim must be received no later than 90 days after the dates of service.

If your dentist’s office is mailing the claim form for you, make sure they are aware of the time frame and abide by it for you.

If you use an out-of-network dentist, we suggest you always ask what charges will be before any work begins.
