Featured Dental Procedure term:
Composite Filling: Tooth colored filling. Insurance companies usually only allow them on the front teeth (anterior teeth). When composites are done on the back teeth (posterior teeth) the insurance company usually pays them as an amalgam. Composites are also known as resin fillings. Featured Dental Benefit term:
Nonduplication of Benefits: This may apply if a subscriber is eligible for benefits under more than one plan. A dental benefit contract provision relieving the third-party payer of liability for cost of services if the services are covered under another program. Distinct from a coordination of benefits provision, because reimbursement would be limited to the greater level allowed by the two plans, rather than a total of 100% of the charges. Also referred to as "benefit-less-benefit" or "carve-out". For more definitions see our complete online guide.
