You will need to provide your dentist with your UBC Group Number ( 025205) and your Member ID (your seven-digit UBC employee number). Your dentist can often submit a claim for your dental procedure directly to Sun Life. In the case of major dental work, this could be a significant and unexpected amount. If you obtain dental services without a predetermination, you are responsible for what the plan does not cover. It’s your responsibility to request a predetermination in advance of receiving dental treatment in order to know what the Dental plan will cover and how much you will be expected to pay out of pocket. Once the review process is complete, Sun Life will send you a Claims Statement outlining what part of the cost is covered by the plan and what you will have to pay. Sun Life may also request further information from your dentist as part of its review process. If your dentist does not provide this information with the form, your predetermination for services will be declined until this information has been received and reviewed by Sun Life. Your dentist should include supporting information, such as x-rays or pictures of models or molds, to illustrate the services that are being recommended. Your dentist can also submit this form electronically. To receive a predetermination for this work, ask your dentist to complete the Dental Claim form, detailing the dental procedure(s) or orthodontic treatment plan, and then have them send this form to Sun Life for you.
#SUN LIFE DENTAL INSURANCE PHONE NUMBER PLUS#
If services are provided by a dental specialist, then the allowed fees are those outlined in the BC Dental Association Fee Guide for General Practitioners, plus 10%.
Your reimbursement will be based on the percentage levels described below and the fee stated in the BC Dental Association Fee Guide for General Practitioners that is current at the time of the treatment. (Sessional Lecturers working less than 50% FTE or in an appointment of four months or less pay half of the monthly premiums for Dental Plan benefits.) What dental costs are covered? There is no cost to you, as UBC pays the monthly premiums associated with this plan. If you want to receive Dental Plan benefits, you need to meet eligibility requirements and enrol in the plan.
These procedures may be provided by a licensed dentist, denturist, dental hygienist or anaesthetist. Your UBC Dental Plan covers a wide range of dental services, from regular check-ups to major procedures such as root canals and crowns.
