Standard Option and Basic Option Dental Benefits

The FEP SBP is a medical plan and includes very limited dental benefits. Members do not pay any additional premiums for this coverage.    

When the SBP is primary, file the claim to the correct Blue Plan using the guidance found at FEPblue.org 

Access the Service Benefit Plan brochure under Tools and Resources.  

Standard Option:
Members enrolled in the SBP Standard Option are entitled to the benefits listed in the Standard Option benefits section whether or not the dental provider participates in Dental GRID.   

The amounts listed in the “we pay” columns are the amounts BCBSNE will pay you if you are a GRID provider. On covered codes, you may collect up to the GRID fee schedule. 

Basic Option:
Members enrolled in the SBP Basic Option are entitled to the benefits listed in the Basic Option benefits section AND the dental provider is a Dental GRID provider. Basic Option members do not have out-of-network benefits.  
  
If services are covered, BCBSNE will pay you; the member owes the copay listed in the “you pay” column.
