Dental Plan

About the ExxonMobil Dental Plan

This summary plan description (SPD) is a summary of the ExxonMobil Dental Plan (the Plan or EMDP). It does not contain all the Plan details. In determining your specific benefits, the full provisions of the formal documents, as they exist now or as they may exist in the future, always govern. You may obtain copies of these documents by making a written request to the Administrator-Benefits. ExxonMobil reserves the right to change benefits in any way or terminate any benefit at any time.

The Dental Plan is self-funded. There is no insurance company to collect premiums or underwrite coverage. Instead, contributions from you and ExxonMobil pay all benefits. Prior claims experience and forecasted expenses are used to determine the amount of money needed to pay future benefits. These options are governed by federal laws, not by state insurance laws.

Notice: The Dental Plan is an excepted benefit under Patient Protection Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and is not minimum essential coverage. Since it is not minimum essential coverage, you may not treat it as required coverage when filing your U.S. Federal Income Tax return.

Applicability to represented employees is governed by collective bargaining agreements and any local bargaining requirements.

Plan at a glance

Enrolling

Employees:

You may enroll yourself and your eligible family members within your first 60 days of employment or within 60 days of a subsequent change in status or at Annual Enrollment. See How to enroll for employees. 

Retirees:

You may enroll yourself and your eligible family members within 60 days of your retirement. If you do not enroll at this time, you will have limited opportunities to enroll at a later date. See How to enroll for retirees.

The Dental PPO

You can visit any dentist, but you save money when you choose a dentist who participates in the Aetna Dental PPO network. The negotiated rates for the dentist's services are generally within reasonable and customary (R&C) limits and generally lower than rates charged by non-network dentists which helps you maximize your annual plan benefit by paying less out of pocket for covered services. See Dental PPO. 

Covered and excluded expenses

The Plan provides benefits for many, but not all, preventive, general, major and orthodontic services. See the Eligible services under your plan section.

Payments

You and the Plan share the costs for covered treatments and services. You pay a deductible before the Plan begins paying for certain benefits. For each covered person, the Plan pays up to $2,000 each calendar year for covered dental expenses (other than preventive and orthodontic services) and up to a $2,000 lifetime maximum benefit for covered orthodontic expenses. See Payments.

Claims

Dental PPO providers file claims for you. You are responsible for ensuring that claims for non-network care are filed. See Claims.

Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act 1985 (COBRA)

You and your family members who lose eligibility may continue dental coverage for a limited time in certain circumstances. See Continuation coverage. 

Administrative and ERISA information 

This Plan is subject to rules of the federal government, including the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, (ERISA) as amended, not state insurance laws. See Administrative and ERISA information.
