Stand-Alone Dental Plan
Pacific Blue Cross has designed this unique plan for BC & Yukon
residents who want affordable dental coverage without
purchasing a health plan.
The plan has a sliding scale for reimbursement. After a three-month
no-claims waiting period and calendar year deductible of $100,
it covers up to:
| Year 1 |
Year 2 |
Year 3 and up |
60%
$500 per
person |
70%
$750 per
person |
80%
$1,000 per

Eligible dental expenses include all necessary services by a dentist
or denturist for the care and maintenance of teeth. Specifically,
this refers to:
- Diagnostic: two recall examinations every calendar year
- X-rays: the equivalent of one full-mouth series each calendar year (complete series x-rays are limited to once every three years)
- Preventive therapy: topical fluoride applications are limited to twice every calendar year
- Restorative dentistry: all procedures to restore natural teeth to normal function using silver and tooth-coloured fillings, and stainless steel crowns
- Scaling and root planing
- Prosthetic repair services to reline or repair fixed or removable appliances
- Routine extractions
Plan rates effective from July 1, 2010 to June 1, 2011.
