What is an implant prosthetic?
An implant is typically composed of two main parts: a post that is attached to the jawbone (to simulate the root of the tooth) and a crown that is placed on top of the post. If you and your dentist choose to replace a single missing tooth with an implant, United Concordia will provide coverage for the crown (or “prosthetic”) that goes on top of the implant post. Please refer to the United Concordia Program Guide for a list of implant-related procedure codes that are covered under the plan. Implant prosthetics are listed as covered under Class C services. Also, be sure to request a predetermination before treatment so you’ll know upfront how much your plan covers and how much you’ll have to pay.
