Will I get credit for prior dental coverage?
Yes. Blue Cross NC may waive or reduce any applicable dental waiting period by the number of months of prior dental coverage. Proof of prior dental coverage with less than 63 days lapse in coverage is required.
You must have had full coverage for preventive, basic, and major services. Preventive only, Discount Only or Dental Savings Plans do not count as full coverage for prior credit. The DBFI PPO Preventive plan offers a benefit for preventive, basic and major services, therefore members who enroll in the DBFI PPO Preventive plan will earn coverage credit.
