In consideration of the dental benefits provided by LIBERTY Dental Plan (LIBERTY), the Subscriber shall pay LIBERTY the standard premium plus any enrollment fee based on the Benefit Plan selected. The payment due to LIBERTY shall be paid yearly in advance. If any check for payment is returned for insufficient funds, the Subscriber agrees to pay LIBERTY a fee of $30.
In addition to paying the prepayment fee referred to above, the receipt of certain types of dental benefits, as specified in the Benefit and Co-Payment document for the Benefit Plan, may require the member to make a co payment to the network dentists.
All services and benefits under our Dental Plans are covered only if provided by a contracted LIBERTY Dental Plan participating Primary Care Dentist or if referred to a Dental Specialist by LIBERTY Dental Plan. The only time you may receive care outside of the network is for true emergency dental services necessary when you are out-of-the area or cannot contact your Primary Care Dentist or LIBERTY Dental Plan. LIBERTY Dental Plan will reimburse you for true emergency dental treatment expenses up to a maximum of $75.00 per year, less applicable co-payments.
The name, address, and telephone number of each participating dentist is available on the LIBERTY Web Site or by calling member services. The provider will be available for appointments during office hours. Should the member have any questions regarding the days and hours of the offices of a network dentist, the member should call their network dentist directly.
LIBERTY has contracted to provide dental benefits to the Subscriber for a period of one year. The contract may thereafter be renewed at the discounted renewal rate for the selected Benefit Plan within 30 days of the original contract expiration, unless the original Benefit Plan has been terminated. If more than one calendar month has passed since the original contract expiration, a new Benefit Plan can be purchased at the standard premium rate.
In the event that the Subscriber’s Benefit Plan is no longer available from their network dentist or LIBERTY, the Subscriber has the option to select another Benefit Plan from LIBERTY.
If the Subscriber is eligible for a refund upon cancellation or termination of the agreement, LIBERTY will return to the Subscriber the pro rata portion of the Premium for any unexpired period for which payment has been received, not to exceed 9 months of premium refund. Any Enrollment or Activation Fee Paid (typically $20) will not be refunded. All refunds will be issued within 30 days of receipt of the notice of cancellation.
Subject to the Enrollee Complaint Procedure provision, an eligible Subscriber or eligible dependent's enrollment under this Program may be cancelled or renewal of enrollment refused.
