    Coverage
    Description
    This optional dental plan is an indemnity insurance plan underwritten by the United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York. A member company of American International Group, Inc. You may use any dentist you choose. Covered services are reimbursed as a percentage of the "Reasonable and Customary" charges for that service in the state where the charge is incurred. Once you have satisfied the continuous coverage limitations of the program, there are no further waiting periods as long as you remain continuously insured under the plan. Both you and your eligible dependents (spouse and unmarried children to age 19 - full-time students to age 25) can be insured under this plan.
