lower your out of pocket expenses. To use Tennessee
Dental Plan and your insurance/indemnity plan together,
you must go to a Tennessee Dental Plan Preferred
Provider. Pay the reduced bill in full at the time
services are rendered and then submit the claim
to your dental insurance/indemnity carrier. You
must send the claim into your other insurance/indemnity
carrier as the provider's office is not required
to do this for you. |
