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.

Eligibility and enrollment

Eligibility and enrollment details for the ExxonMobil Dental Plan

Generally, you are eligible if:

• You are a regular employee.
• You are a trainee as described in the Key Terms section.
• You are a retiree.
• You are a survivor/surviving spouse, which means an eligible family member of a deceased regular or retiree.
• You are a long-term Expatriate with U.S. Company-sponsored green card (also called permanent resident visas or PRVs) who retires/retired at the end of your current U.S. assignment on or after July 1, 2020 and remain in the U.S. with a valid PRV. If you choose not to enroll, there will be no opportunity to enroll at a later point in time during retirement.

You are not eligible if:

• You participate in any other employer dental plan to which ExxonMobil contributes.
• You fail to make any required contribution toward the cost of the Plan.
• You fail to comply with general administrative requirements including but not limited to enrollment requirements.
• You lost eligibility as described under the Loss of eligibility section.
• You are an Expatriate employee.

Eligible family members

You may also elect coverage for your eligible family members including:

• Your spouse. When you enroll your spouse for coverage, you may be required to provide proof that you are legally married.
• Your child(ren) under age 26. Coverage ends at the end of the month in which they reach age 26. If your situation involves a family member other than your biological or legally adopted child, contact the ExxonMobil Benefits Service Center.
• Your totally and continuously disabled child(ren) who is incapable of self-sustaining employment by reason of mental or physical disability, that occurred prior to otherwise losing eligibility at age 26 and, meets the Internal Revenue Service's definition of a dependent, and, if a child of a retiree, is not eligible to be enrolled in Medicare as their primary medical plan.

Refer to Key terms  for definitions of eligible family members, child, suspended retiree, spouse, and Qualified Medical Child Support Order. 

Suspended retiree

A person who becomes a retiree due to incapacity within the meaning of the ExxonMobil Disability Plan and who begins long-term disability benefits under that plan, but whose benefits stop because the person is no longer incapacitated is considered a suspended retiree and is not eligible for coverage until the earlier of the date the person:

• Reaches age 55, or
• Begins his or her retirement benefit under the ExxonMobil Pension Plan, at which time the person is again considered a retiree and may enroll.

The family members of a deceased suspended retiree will be eligible for coverage under this Plan only after the occurrence of the earlier of the following:

• The date the suspended retiree would have attained age 55, or
• The date a survivor begins receiving a benefit due to the suspended retiree's accrued benefit from the ExxonMobil Pension Plan.

Special eligibility rules

A person who otherwise is not a spouse but who, as a dependent of a former Mobil employee who participated in or received benefits under a Mobil-sponsored plan or program prior to March 1, 2000, is considered an eligible dependent as long as that person's eligibility for coverage as a dependent under a Mobil-sponsored plan would have continued.

Classes of coverage

You can choose coverage as an:

• Employee or retiree only
• Employee or retiree and spouse
• Employee or retiree and child(ren)

• Employee or retiree, spouse and child(ren)

There are also classes of coverage for surviving spouses and family members of deceased employees and retirees and employees on certain types of leaves of absence. 

For employees on an approved leave of absence, their contribution rate will change from the employee contribution rate to the COBRA contribution rate as shown in the table below, upon election of COBRA coverage. 

COBRA Contribution Rate Begins	Immediately	No later than after 6 months	No later than after 12 months
Type of Leave
Military (voluntary)	O
Health / Dependent Care		O
Personal			O

Each class of coverage described in this section has its own contribution rate. Employees contribute to the Dental Plan through monthly deductions from their pay on a pre-tax or after-tax basis. Retirees and survivors receiving monthly benefit checks from ExxonMobil pay by deductions from these checks on an after-tax basis. Other retirees or survivors and participants with continuation coverage pay by check or by monthly draft on their bank account.

Double coverage

No one can be covered more than once in the Dental Plan. You and a family member cannot both enroll as employees (or retirees) and elect coverage for each other as eligible family members. If you and your spouse or adult child work for the company (or are retirees) you may both be eligible for coverage. Each of you can be covered as an individual employee (or retiree), or one of you can be covered as the employee (or retiree) and the other can be an eligible family member. Also, if you and your spouse have children, each child can only be covered by one of you.

In addition a marriage between two ExxonMobil employees does not allow enrollment or cancellation in any of the ExxonMobil health plans. In order to change your coverage you need to wait until you experience a change in status that allows coverage changes or Annual Enrollment.

How to enroll

Employees:

As a newly hired employee, if you enroll in the Dental Plan within 30 days of your start date, coverage begins the first day of employment. If you enroll between 31 and 60 days of your date of hire, coverage will be effective the first day of the month following completion of enrollment in ExxonMobil Benefits or through the ExxonMobil Benefits Service Center.

If you are eligible for the ExxonMobil Pre-Tax Spending Plan, you will be enrolled to pay your monthly contributions on a pre-tax basis unless you annually decline this feature. Your monthly pre-tax contributions and class of coverage must remain in effect for the entire plan year, unless you experience a change in status. (See Annual enrollment and Changing your coverage sections.)

You can enroll eligible family members only if you are enrolled in this Plan. You can enroll in the Plan using the ExxonMobil Benefits or through the ExxonMobil Benefits Service Center.

You may be requested to provide documents at some future date to prove that the family members you enrolled were eligible (e.g., marriage certificate, birth certificate). If you fail to provide such requested documents within 90 days of the request, coverage for the family members will be canceled the first of the following month and you may be subject to discipline up to and including termination of employment for falsifying company records.

Under the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Reauthorization Act of 2009 you may change your Plan election for yourself and any eligible family members within 60 days of either (1) termination of Medicaid or CHIP coverage due to loss of eligibility, or (2) becoming eligible for a state premium assistance program under Medicaid or CHIP coverage. In either case, coverage is effective the first of the month following enrollment through the ExxonMobil Benefits portal or through the ExxonMobil Benefits Service Center phone line.

Retirees:

Effective January 1, 2019, retirees have three opportunities to enroll in the Dental Plan:

1. At retirement, or
2. Upon loss of other employer coverage, or
3. When first eligible to be enrolled in Medicare as your primary plan.

There is no opportunity to enroll yourself in the Dental Plan at any other time, including during annual enrollment.

If you were enrolled in the Dental Plan as an employee, you and your eligible covered family members will continue to be enrolled in the Plan at retirement. However, as a retiree, you will pay your contributions on an after-tax basis via payroll deduction (if eligible), check, or bank draft.

Eligible family members may be added to your coverage at one of the three enrollment opportunities listed above or if you experience a change in status. Eligible family members cannot be added to your coverage at any other time, including during annual enrollment.

All enrollments must be completed within 60 days of the enrollment event. Coverage is effective the first of the month following receipt of your election by the ExxonMobil Benefits Service Center (EMBSC), except in the case of a birth or adoption of a child when changes will be effective on the date of the birth or adoption.

You can enroll either online or by phone. To enroll online go to www.exxonmobil.com/benefits. To enroll by phone call the Benefits Service Center at 800-682-2847.

You may be requested to provide documents at some future date to prove that the family members you enrolled were eligible (e.g. marriage certificate, birth certificate). If you fail to provide such requested documents within the required time period, coverage for the family members will be cancelled the first of the following month. If you enroll family members who are not eligible for the Plan, for instance, by covering children who do not meet the eligibility requirements, you may lose eligibility for yourself and your family under all ExxonMobil health plans.

You may cancel your coverage at any time; however, you may not re-enroll unless you experience a corresponding change in status or you wait until one of the enrollment opportunities listed above. Coverage will be terminated at the end of the month in which your elected change has been received.

Eligible family members may also be removed from your coverage at any time; however, they may not be reinstated unless you experience a corresponding change in status or you wait until one of the enrollment opportunities listed above.

Note: You are required to remove family members who are no longer eligible for coverage at the time of loss of eligibility. To remove an ineligible family member (a divorced spouse for example) you are required to notify the Benefits Service Center within 60 days of the loss of eligibility or your ineligible family members will not be entitled to COBRA benefits continuation. If you fail to notify the Benefits Service Center, you may also lose eligibility for yourself and your family under all ExxonMobil health plans. In addition, you will be required to reimburse the Plans for any claims paid after the loss of eligibility for any ineligible person(s).

Annual enrollment

Each year, usually during the fall, ExxonMobil offers an annual enrollment period. During this time, employees can make changes to coverage by adding or removing family members. Family members may be added or removed for any reason during annual enrollment. However, family members must be removed as soon as they are no longer eligible. Changes elected during annual enrollment take effect the first of the following year.

Note: You should not wait until annual enrollment to remove a family member who loses eligibility; they should be removed at the time eligibility is lost. For consequences for covering an ineligible family member, see Loss of Eligibility.

Employees are automatically enrolled in the Pre-Tax Spending Plan to pay monthly contributions on a pre-tax basis unless this feature is declined each time. This choice is only available during the annual enrollment period or with a change in status.

If you do not want to make any changes, you don’t have to do anything during Annual Enrollment to continue with your current plan selection for the following year. However, if as an employee you want to participate in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you must enroll each year, even if you are currently enrolled in an FSA.

If as an employee you pay your monthly contributions on an after-tax basis and would like to continue making contributions on an after-tax basis for the following year, you must elect to do so during each Annual Enrollment and after each change in status. Otherwise, your contributions will be switched to a pre-tax basis beginning the first day of the following year.

Changing your coverage

Employees:

To make a change to your coverage after your initial enrollment you must wait until Annual Enrollment or until you experience one of the following Changes in status.

Note: Changes in coverage associated with a change in status are effective the first day of a month after enrollment is completed, except in the case of a birth or adoption of a child when changes will be effective on the date of the birth or adoption. If the change is made during Annual Enrollment, changes are effective the first day of the following year.

Retirees:

To make a change to your coverage after your retirement you must wait until you experience a Post-Retirement Change in Status that allows enrollment into the Plan.

Changes in Status during employment

Retirees and survivors please see Post-Retirement Changes in Status.

This section explains which events are considered changes in status during your employment and what changes you may make as a result. If you have a change in status, you are required to complete your change within 60 days. If you do not complete your change within 60 days, changes to your coverage may be limited. If you fail to remove an ineligible family member within 60 days of the event that causes the person to be no longer eligible, (e.g., divorce) you are required to continue to pay the same pre-tax contribution for coverage even though you have removed the ineligible person(s). Your pre-tax contribution for coverage will remain the same until you have another change in status or the first of the plan year following the next annual enrollment period. In addition, you will be required to reimburse the Plans for any claims paid after the loss of eligibility for any ineligible person(s). The only exception is death of an eligible family member.

Important Note: Your election made due to a change in status cannot be changed after the transaction is completed in ExxonMobil Benefits or the form is received by ExxonMobil Benefits Service Center. If you make a mistake in ExxonMobil Benefits Web , contact ExxonMobil Benefits Service Center immediately or no later than the first work day following the day on which the mistake was made.

If you lose coverage under your spouse's dental plan because of divorce, you can sign up for dental coverage for yourself and your eligible family members. You must enroll within 60 days following the date you lose coverage under your spouse's plan or wait until Annual Enrollment or another change in status.

You may also enroll yourself, your spouse, and all eligible children. Coverage is effective on the date of birth, adoption or placement for adoption. You must add the new family member within 60 days even if you already have family coverage.  See the Changing your coverage section for additional circumstances in which changes can be made.

If you enroll your new family member between 31 and 60 days from the birth or adoption and your coverage level changes, you will pay the cost difference on a post-tax basis until the end of the month in which the enrollment is processed through ExxonMobil Benefits portal or though ExxonMobil Benefits Service Center. Beginning the first day of the following month your deduction will be on a pre-tax basis.

You must make these changes within 60 days following the date you lose coverage or wait until Annual Enrollment or another change in status. If you and your family members are enrolled in the ExxonMobil Dental Plan, any stepchildren will cease to be eligible upon your spouse's death unless you are their court appointed guardian or sole managing conservator. 

Sole legal guardianship or sole managing conservatorship

If you (or your spouse, separately or together) become the sole court appointed legal guardian or sole managing conservator of a child and the child meets all other requirements of the definition of an eligible family member, you have 60 days from the date the judgment is signed to enroll the child for coverage. You must provide a copy of the court document signed by a judge appointing you (or your spouse separately or together) guardian or sole managing conservator.

When a child is no longer eligible 

 If an enrolled family member is no longer an eligible family member, coverage continues through the end of the month in which they cease to be eligible. In some cases, continuation coverage under COBRA may be available.  (See Continuation coverage for more details about COBRA.)You must notify to the  ExxonMobil Benefits Service Center through the ExxonMobil Benefits portal or by phone as soon as a family member is no longer eligible. If you fail to notify the ExxonMobil Benefits Service Center within 60 days, the family member will not be entitled to elect COBRA. While we have an administrative process to remove dependent children reaching the maximum eligibility age, you remain responsible for ensuring that the child is removed from coverage.  If you fail to ensure that a family member is removed in a timely manner, there may be consequences for falsifying company records

Leave of absence

If you are on an approved leave of absence, you can continue coverage by making required contributions directly to the Dental Plan by check or, if applicable, pre-pay your benefits. If you chose not to continue your coverage while on leave, your coverage ends on the last day of the month in which your cancelation is processed through the ExxonMobil Benefits portal and you will be required to pay for the entire month's contributions. If you fail to make required contributions while on leave, coverage will end.

If the company should make any payment on your behalf to continue your coverage while you are on leave and you decide not to return to work, you will be required to reimburse the company for required contributions.

If you are on an approved leave of absence and the Leave of Absence contribution rate begins, you may continue your coverage by making your required contribution. See Classes of coverage in the Eligibility and Enrollment section for rate information.

If you were on a leave that meets the requirements of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) or the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) and your coverage ended, re-enrollment is subject to FMLA or USERRA requirements.

For more information, contact ExxonMobil Benefits Service Center.

Other changes that may affect your coverage

Change in coverage costs or significant curtailment

If the cost for coverage charged to you significantly increases or decreases during a plan year, you may be able to make a corresponding prospective change in your election, including the cancellation of your election. This provision also applies to a significant increase in the dental deductible or coinsurance.

If the cost of coverage under your spouse's dental plan significantly increases or there is a significant curtailment of coverage that permits revocation of coverage during a plan year and you cancel that coverage, you will be able to sign up for dental coverage for yourself and any eligible family members. 

If you die

If you die while enrolled, your covered eligible family members can continue coverage. Their eligibility continues with the company contributions for a specified amount of time:

• If you have 15 or more years of benefit service at the time of your death, eligibility continues until your spouse remarries or dies.
• If you have less than 15 years of benefit service, eligibility continues for twice your length of Benefit Service or until the spouse remarries or dies, whichever occurs first.

Children of deceased employees or retirees may continue participation as long as they are an eligible family member and are not eligible to be enrolled in Medicare as their primary medical plan. If your surviving spouse remarries, eligibility for your stepchildren also ends. Special rules may apply to family members of individuals who become retirees due to disability. (See Continuation coverage for suspended retirees).

 

If you become a suspended retiree

If you are a retiree and you would otherwise lose coverage because you have become a suspended retiree under the ExxonMobil Disability Plan, you may continue coverage for yourself and your family members who were eligible for plan participation before you became a suspended retiree for either 12 or 18 months.

Coverage continues for 12 months from the date coverage would otherwise end if you received transition benefits under the ExxonMobil Disability Plan. However, if you did not receive transition benefits under the ExxonMobil Disability Plan, coverage continues for 18 months from the date coverage would otherwise end. The cost of this continued coverage is 102% of the combined participant and company contributions.

When coverage ends

Coverage for you and/or your family members ends on the earliest of the following dates:

• The last day of the month in which:
• You terminate employment (except as a retiree or due to disability),
• You elect not to participate,
• A family member ceases to be eligible (for example, a child reaches age 26), or
• A retiree becomes a suspended retiree (see suspended retiree under Eligible Family Members).
• You are no longer eligible for benefits under this Plan (e.g., employment classification changes from regular employee to non-regular employee or from non-represented to represented where you are no longer eligible for this Plan; from regular to expatriate employee),
• You do not make your required contribution,
• A Qualified Medical Child Support Order is no longer in effect for a covered family member,

OR

• The date:
• You die,
• The Plan ends,
• Your employer discontinues participation in the Plan,
• You enrolled an ineligible family member and in the opinion of the Administrator-Benefits, the enrollment was a result of fraud or a misrepresentation of a material fact.

You are responsible for ending coverage with the ExxonMobil Benefits Service Center when your enrolled spouse or family member is no longer eligible for coverage. If you do not complete your change within 60 days, any contributions you make for ineligible family members will not be refunded.

Basic Plan features

Using the Dental PPO (Preferred Provider Organization)

Using the Dental PPO is completely voluntary. The Dental PPO provides access to a network of dentists and dental specialists who have met Aetna's standards for licensing, academics, and service. Dental PPO providers' charges are generally within reasonable and customary limits. (See Reasonable and customary limits  under Adjustments to Billed Charges in the Payments section.)

There are several advantages to using network providers:

• The negotiated rates offered by network dentists generally lower your out-of-pocket costs and allow you to cover more dental services for the annual benefit maximum.
• Network dentists submit claims for you, so you do not have to complete claim forms.
• Negotiated rates are within reasonable and customary limits, so you will not have to pay charges above the limits. However, the alternative course of treatment rules noted in the Adjustments to Billed Charges section apply.

To receive the benefit of negotiated rates, use network dentists and present your Aetna Dental PPO ID card or member identification number.

To find a dental PPO provider:

• Check the Aetna Provider Directory on www.aetna.com for the most up-to-date list of dental PPO providers.
• Call Aetna Member Services for help with locating a PPO provider.

Confirm with Aetna Member Services and/or the dentist's office whether the dentist participates in the network before the appointment, since network participation may change.

If you or your covered family members need to see a dentist while away from home, you can go to any licensed dentist. However, you may access the Aetna website or contact Aetna Member Services to see if there is a network dentist in the area.

Pre-determination of benefits

You are encouraged to submit a pre-determination of benefits before you begin any complicated or expensive dental procedure to avoid unexpected expenses.

Generally, Aetna will tell you what benefits will be paid for the proposed treatment. However, if a less expensive alternative course of treatment is available, Aetna will advise you of the alternative course of treatment and tell you what benefits will be paid. If you decide to have the more expensive proposed treatment, the Plan pays benefits based on the cost of the alternative course of treatment.

Here is how the pre-determination process works:

• Ask your dentist to submit a pre-determination of benefit request.
• The dentist describes the suggested course of treatment, itemizing specific services and charges. In some cases medical information, including x-rays, may also be needed.
• The dentist submits the information to Aetna, which determines the Plan benefits for the services outlined and notifies both you and the dentist. This gives you a chance to discuss the work and charges with your dentist before the work is performed.

If a lower cost alternative course of treatment would be medically appropriate, you might decide to proceed with the original treatment, or you might opt for the alternative course of treatment. That is a matter for you and your dentist to decide. Plan benefits are based on the actual work done or on the Plan's requirements relating to alternative course of treatment, not on the pre-determination. (See Alternative course of treatment under Annual Maximum in the Payments section).

Note: A pre-determination is processed much like a claim. Plan accordingly and allow sufficient time for that process to take place.

Eligible services under your plan

Eligible services for the ExxonMobil Dental Plan

The Plan divides dental services into four categories:

• Preventive services

• General services

• Major services

• Orthodontic services

For all coverage, benefits are payable only for charges up to the reasonable and customary amount for similar services and supplies in the area. PPO dentists' charges are generally within the reasonable and customary amount (see Adjustments to billed charges in the Payments section).

To be covered, an expense must be incurred by a plan participant for preventive dental care or for the care and treatment of dental disease or accidental injury and such service or treatment must be:

• Medically necessary
• Performed or prescribed by a dentist or physician, and
• Not excluded under this Plan.

An expense or charge is generally considered incurred on the date the service is provided, with these exceptions:

• Fixed bridges, crowns, inlays, onlays, or gold restorations are considered incurred on the first day of preparation of the tooth or teeth involved.
• Full or partial dentures are considered incurred on the date the impression is taken.
• Endodontics are considered incurred on the date the tooth is opened for root canal therapy. 
• Dental implants are considered incurred on the date the implant post is inserted.  The implant crown is considered incurred on the date it is placed on the implant post.

Preventive services

To encourage good oral health and improve overall health of participants, the Plan pays 100% of covered charges for the following preventive services with no deductible and these expenses are not applied to the annual dental maximum:

• Diagnostic oral examinations (up to four diagnostic oral examinations per calendar year)
• Prophylaxis and/or Periodontal cleanings (up to four cleanings per calendar year)
• Diagnostic supplementary (bite-wing) X-rays (limited to one time each calendar year).
• Periapical X-rays
• Diagnostic full-mouth or panoramic X-rays* (limited to once in any three consecutive years). Limitation does not apply to orthodontia treatment.
• Topical stannous fluoride application (limited to one time for adults and two times for children under age 16 each calendar year).
• Space maintainers and their insertion (limited to deciduous teeth whether primary or baby teeth and treatment for a covered family member under age 19).
• Tooth sealants applied to a permanent molar (limited to one application per tooth in any three consecutive years).
• Occlusal (night) guards for the treatment of bruxism (limited to one appliance in any two calendar-year period).

 

Emergency treatment

The Plan also pays 100% of reasonable and customary covered charges for diagnostic x-rays and examination charges for problem focused limited oral exams. If you incur charges for urgent treatment on a day when you receive other dental services, such as a routine checkup or an extraction, the problem focus limited oral examination charges will be covered.

Example:

Suppose you see your dentist for an emergency toothache. Your dentist gives you an emergency examination, takes x-rays, and asks you to return for treatment at a later time. These costs are 100% reimbursable by the Plan.

If your dentist does an extraction in addition to the x-rays and emergency examination, these services are covered by the Plan, even if incurred on the same day. The emergency examination and x-rays would be covered at 100% and the extraction at 80%.

General services

After you meet an annual deductible of $50 per person (maximum of $150 per family), the Plan pays 80%, or as otherwise specified, of covered charges for the following services:

• Care and treatment involving tooth extractions, fractures, and dislocations of the jaw, and cutting procedures in the oral cavity.
• Root canals and other endodontic treatment.
• General anesthetic in connection with oral surgery, periodontics, fractures, and dislocations if medically necessary according to Aetna guidelines. See General Anesthesia / Sedation section.
• Injection of antibiotics in conjunction with treatment of a covered dental expense if medically necessary according to Aetna guidelines.
• Fillings, other than gold fillings. (For gold fillings, see Major services below.)
• Repair and rebasing existing dentures or fixed bridges. (Replacing such dentures and fixed bridges is described under Major services below.)
• Addition of teeth to existing denture or fixed bridges if required by loss of natural teeth.
• Pre-surgery oral exams.
• Crown build-ups, when approved.

Major services

After you meet the annual deductible of $50 per person (maximum of $150 per family), the Plan pays 50% of covered charges for these services:

• Full or partial dentures or fixed bridges or implants and their initial insertion. Replacement of existing devices can only be covered if such device cannot be made serviceable and is more than five years old. This includes any abutment to an implant and the crown over the implant.  The Plan does not cover charges for adjusting dentures or bridges within six months of installation. Such follow-up visits are normally included in initial charges.
• Gold fillings and permanent crowns— or their replacement — necessary for restoration of tooth structure broken down by decay, injury or severe attrition.
• Inlays and onlays as major services paid at 50%.

Separate charges for temporary fillings and crowns are not covered. If you are charged for both temporary and permanent crowns or dentures, only the charge for the permanent crown or denture is covered.

Orthodontic services

The Plan pays 50% of covered charges with no deductible up to the orthodontic lifetime limit of $2,000 per person for orthodontic services and supplies to correct malposed teeth. (See Orthodontia lifetime maximum in the Payments section for more information.)

When an employee is first eligible and enrolls in the Plan, orthodontic services and supplies will be covered even if the insertion of the first appliance occurs prior to becoming a covered person.

In addition to traditional orthodontia treatments, the Plan provides coverage for Invisalign however benefits are payable only for charges up to the reasonable and customary amount for similar services such as Comprehensive Orthodontic Treatment (Braces). This means that you are responsible for the excess amount.   As with other orthodontic treatments, these charges are subject to your orthodontia lifetime maximum.

The tool referenced below shows how benefits are paid from the ExxonMobil Dental Plan and reimbursements are made from your Health Care Flexible Spending Account. Refer to the Pre-Tax Spending Plan Summary Plan Description when using Pre-Tax Plan for orthodontia reimbursement.  Monthly reimbursements are based on your treatment plan (number of months that braces are on the teeth), not your payment schedule.

NOTE:  If you are paying your orthodontic services in full up front, contact Aetna member services for claim handling guidelines for your Health Care Flexible Spending Account.

The orthodontia calculator does not calculate correctly if orthodontia services are paid in full upfront.

Exclusions

Exclusions for the ExxonMobil Dental Plan

Although the Plan covers many types of dental treatments and services, it does not cover all of them.

• Charges for missed appointments, telephone consultations, and/or completion of claim forms are excluded by the Plan 
• Any charge for a service or supply not listed as a covered expense.
• Any charge that exceeds the reasonable and customary limit.
• Any charges deemed to be incidental.

Continuation coverage

Continuation coverage for the ExxonMobil Dental Plan

Introduction

You are required to be given the information in this section because you are covered under a group health plan (the Plan). This section contains important information about your right to COBRA continuation coverage, which is a temporary extension of coverage under the Plan under certain circumstances when coverage would otherwise end. This section generally explains COBRA continuation coverage, when it may become available to you and your family, and what you need to do to protect the right to receive it. 

The right to COBRA coverage was created by a federal law, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA). COBRA coverage can become available to you when you would otherwise lose your group health coverage. It can also become available to your spouse and children, if they are covered under the Plan when they would otherwise lose their group health coverage or other rights under the Plan. This section does not fully describe COBRA coverage or other rights under the Plan. For additional information about your rights and obligations under the Plan and under federal law, you should review this SPD or contact the ExxonMobil Benefits Service Center at the telephone numbers or address listed under Benefits Administration in the Contacts for COBRA rights.

You, your spouse, and your family members may have other options available when you lose group health coverage. For example, you may be eligible to buy an individual plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace.  By enrolling in coverage through the Marketplace, you may qualify for lower costs on your monthly premiums and lower out-of-pocket costs.  Additionally, you may qualify for a 30-day special enrollment period for another group health plan for which you are eligible (such as a spouse’s plan), even if that plan generally doesn’t accept late enrollees.

Determination of Benefits Administration Entity to Contact:

• Current ExxonMobil or their covered family members should use ExxonMobil Benefits or contact the ExxonMobil Benefits Service Center;

• Former ExxonMobil Employees and their covered family members, who have elected and are participating through COBRA, contact the ExxonMobil COBRA Administration.

The contact information for each of these entities is as shown in the Contacts for COBRA Rights section.

What is COBRA coverage?

COBRA coverage is a continuation of Plan coverage when coverage would otherwise end because of a life event known as a qualifying event. Specific qualifying events are listed later in this section.  If a specific qualifying event occurs and any required notice of that event is properly provided to the ExxonMobil Benefits Service Center, COBRA coverage must be offered to each person losing coverage who is a qualified beneficiary.  You, your spouse, and your children could become qualified beneficiaries if coverage under the Plan is lost because of the qualifying event. Certain newborns, newly adopted children, and alternate recipients under QMCSOs may also be qualified beneficiaries. This is discussed in more detail in separate paragraphs below. Under the Plan, qualified beneficiaries who elect COBRA coverage must pay the entire cost of COBRA coverage (employee plus employer portions) plus a 2% administrative fee.

Who is entitled to elect COBRA?

If you are an employee, you will be entitled to elect COBRA, if you lose your coverage under the Plan because either one of the following qualifying events happens:

• Your hours of employment are reduced, or
• Your employment ends for any reason other than your gross misconduct.

If you are the spouse of an employee/retiree, you will be entitled to elect COBRA if you lose coverage under the Plan because any of the following qualifying events happens:

• Your spouse dies,
• Your spouse's hours of employment are reduced,
• Your spouse’s employment ends for any reason other than his or her gross misconduct,
• You become divorced from your spouse.  Also, if your spouse (the employee) reduces or eliminates your group health coverage in anticipation of a divorce, and a divorce later occurs, then the divorce may be considered a qualifying event for you even though your coverage was reduced or eliminated before the divorce.

A person enrolled as the employee/retiree’s child will be entitled to elect COBRA if he or she loses coverage under the Plan because any of the following qualifying events happens:

• The parent-employee/retiree dies,
• The parent-employee's hours of employment are reduced,
• The parent-employee's employment ends for any reason other than his or her gross misconduct, or
• The child stops being eligible for coverage under the Plan as a child.

When is COBRA coverage available?

When the qualifying event is the end of employment or reduction of hours of employment or death of the employee/retiree, the Plan will offer COBRA coverage to qualified beneficiaries.  You need to notify the ExxonMobil Benefits Service Center of any other qualifying events.

For the other qualifying events (divorce of the employee/retiree resulting in the spouse or a child losing eligibility for coverage), a COBRA election will be available to you only if you notify and provide the ExxonMobil Benefits Service Center or ExxonMobil COBRA Administration within 60 days after the later of (1) the date of the qualifying event or (2) the date on which the qualified beneficiary loses (or would lose) coverage under the terms of the Plan as a result of the qualifying event. Current employees, retirees or survivors may give notice of qualifying events by logging onto ExxonMobil Benefits portal.

Please note:  Notice is not effective until either a change is made on ExxonMobil Benefits or the proper information is received by the ExxonMobil Benefits Service Center. If notice is not submitted during the 60-day notice period, then all qualified beneficiaries will lose their right to elect COBRA.

Election of COBRA

Each qualified beneficiary will have an independent right to elect COBRA. Covered employees and spouses (if the spouse is a qualified beneficiary) may elect COBRA on behalf of all qualified beneficiaries, and parents may elect COBRA on behalf of their children. Any qualified beneficiary for whom COBRA is not elected within the 60-day election period specified in the Plan’s COBRA election notice WILL LOSE HIS OR HER RIGHT TO ELECT COBRA.

How long does COBRA coverage last?

COBRA coverage is a temporary continuation of Plan coverage that lasts between 18-36 months depending on the qualifying event.

You, your spouse and covered dependents may qualify for up to 18 months of continuation coverage, if you qualify due to one of the following qualifying events:

• Your employment ends for any reason other than termination for gross misconduct;
• Your work hours are reduced and you are no longer eligible to participate in the Plan ; or
• Unpaid Leave of Absence

Your covered spouse and covered dependent may qualify for up to 36 months of continuation coverage, if they qualify due to one of the following qualifying events:

You die;

You and your spouse get a divorce; or

An enrolled child no longer meets the definition of “child” under the terms of the Plan

Second qualifying event extension COBRA coverage

If your family experiences another qualifying event while receiving COBRA coverage as a result of the covered employee’s termination of employment or reduction of hours (including COBRA coverage during a disability extension as described above), the covered spouse and children in your family can get up to 18 additional months of COBRA continuation coverage, for a maximum of 36 months, if notice of the second qualifying event is properly given the COBRA Administrator. This extension may be available to the spouse and any children receiving COBRA coverage if the employee or former employee dies, gets divorced, or if the covered child stops being eligible under the Plan as a child. This extension is not available under the Plan when a covered employee becomes entitled to Medicare after his or her termination of employment or reduction of hours.  This extension due to a second qualifying event is available only if you notify the correct benefits administration entity within 60 days of the date of the second qualifying event.

Disability extension of 18-month COBRA continuation coverage

The 18-month continuation period may be extended for you and your covered family members if the Social Security Administration determines that you or another family members, who is a qualified beneficiary, is disabled at any time during the first 60 days of continuation coverage.  If all of the following requirements are met, coverage for all family members who are qualified beneficiaries as a result of the same qualifying event can be extended for up to an additional 11 months (for a total of 29 months):

• This extension is available only for qualified beneficiaries who are receiving COBRA coverage because of a qualifying event that was the covered employee’s termination of employment or reduction of hours.
• The disability must have started at some time before the 61st day after the covered employee’s termination of employment or reduction of hours and must last at least until the end of the period of COBRA coverage that would be available without the disability extension (generally 18 months, as described above).
• A copy of the Notice of Award from the Social Security Administration is provided to the COBRA Administrator [ExxonMobil Benefits Service Center] within 60 days of receipt of the notice and before the end of the initial 18 months of continuation coverage.

If the disabled qualified beneficiary elects continuation coverage, you must pay an increased premium of 150 percent of the monthly cost of Plan coverage that’s continued, beginning with the 19^th month of continuation coverage.

Payments

Payments information for the ExxonMobil Dental Plan

The Plan helps you and your family members with dental expenses. You and the Plan share costs for covered treatment and services. You pay a percentage coinsurance for most covered expenses. You must satisfy an annual deductible before the Plan starts paying on covered non-preventive services. The Plan also has an annual maximum and a lifetime orthodontia maximum amount. Once the maximum lifetime benefit maximum has been paid, no other benefits will be paid under any circumstances. Once the Plan has paid charges for covered expenses up to the maximum, you are responsible for all charges above the maximum. See the Adjustments to billed charges section for other factors that may affect reimbursement.

This section explains some of the terms and provisions you need to know to use the Plan to your best advantage.

Annual maximum

The annual maximum is $2,000, which is the amount of benefits payable under the Plan for covered dental expenses (other than preventive and orthodontic services) each calendar year for each covered person. This annual maximum benefit is determined after you pay any necessary deductibles and coinsurances. Orthodontic expenses have a separate lifetime limit of $2,000.

Once the annual maximum benefit has been paid, no other benefits are available under any circumstances. You are responsible for all charges above the annual maximum benefit.

The negotiated rates do not apply once your yearly dental maximum has been reached. The dental provider may charge you their full billed rates.

Example:

You have had several dental procedures totaling $1,800 between January 1st and July 31st. You have $200 remaining until you reach the annual maximum. On September 2nd, you have a dental procedure performed, and the cost to the Plan is $300. Since the annual maximum is $2,000, the Plan will pay only $200 of the charge. You are responsible for $100, and no benefits are available for dental services performed for the remainder of the calendar year.

However, beginning January 1st of the following year, a new annual maximum benefit will be available to pay charges for covered expenses incurred during that calendar year.

Deductibles

The deductible is the amount of covered expenses you must pay each calendar year before the Plan begins sharing the cost. You do not pay a deductible for preventive or orthodontic services. An annual deductible must be met for general and major services. A $50 deductible applies to each covered person. Once deductibles for your family reach $150, your family has satisfied the deductible requirements for the year. The deductible does not include any amounts above the reasonable and customary limits (see Reasonable and Customary Limits under Adjustments to billed charges).

Percentage coinsurances

The coinsurance is the percentage of the cost of covered dental treatment or services that you pay. You pay a 20% coinsurance for general services and a 50% coinsurance for major and orthodontic services.

Orthodontia lifetime maximum

The Plan pays up to $2,000 for covered orthodontic expenses for the lifetime of each covered person. This is in addition to the annual maximum benefit for other types of dental care.

Adjustments to billed charges

When providers submit charges for payment, the following factors affect the amount that will be considered eligible for reimbursement. References to these limitations may appear on your explanation of benefits. Contact Aetna Member Services for more information. A pre-determination of benefits is strongly recommended before you incur any major or unusual expenses.

Reasonable and customary limits

Allowable amounts for services are determined by reasonable and customary (R&C) limits. The Plan's claims administrator determines R&C limits. These limits are based on data obtained from the Prevailing Healthcare Charges System owned by FAIR Health. R&C limits for services are set at the 80th percentile of the range of charges for a particular procedure in the same geographic area(s). R&C limits apply only to non-network providers and services.

If any non-network provider charges a fee that exceeds the R&C limit, you are responsible for the excess amount. The amount above the R&C limit does not apply toward your annual deductible or your percentage coinsurance. To find out if a proposed charge is within R&C limits, contact Aetna Member Services. PPO provider negotiated rates are generally within R&C limits.

Example:

Assume that the R&C charge in your area for a tooth filling is $120, your non-network dentist charges $140 to fill your tooth, and the network dentist's negotiated charge is $100.

	Network	Non-Network
Tooth filling	$100	$140
Covered amount	$100	$120
You pay 20%* of covered amount	$ 20	$ 24
You pay amount over R&C	+ 0	+ 20
Your total cost	$ 20	$ 44
*After deductible has been satisfied.

The Benefit Summary provides an overview of the ExxonMobil Dental Plan. More detailed explanations of the expenses covered under each category (preventive, general, major, and orthodontic) and expenses not covered are provided in the Exclusions section of this SPD.

Alternative course of treatment

In situations where an alternative course of treatment would provide professionally adequate (based on American Dental Association guidelines) results at a lower cost, the lower-cost treatment is considered the covered expense.

The alternative course of treatment is determined either at the time a pre-determination is made or when the claim is processed. Reimbursement and subsequent repairs, replacement, or servicing is based on that alternative course of treatment. Use the Plan's pre-determination of benefits feature to avoid unexpected expenses.

If you incur a service that is eligible for an alternative course of treatment without a pre-determination or you choose not to use the alternative course of treatment identified during a pre-determination, you will be responsible for the following:

• Any reasonable and customary charges that you may incur while using a non-PPO provider.
• The difference in cost between the alternative course of treatment and the treatment performed.
• Your coinsurance based on the alternative course of treatment, if your deductible has been met.

Example:

Assume that you have one or more missing teeth and you would like them replaced with an initial bridge. Dental bridges bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. Your provider is a Dental PPO network provider and the submitted charge is $2000 for an initial bridge. When you submit your treatment plan for a pre-determination of benefits, Aetna determines that a medically necessary, cost-effective alternative course of treatment is available – a partial denture – that costs $1000. The table below shows the cost you would pay if you choose to proceed with an initial dental bridge instead of a partial denture. Also, the table shows the cost if you use a non-network provider who charges $3,000.

For this example: A claim is submitted for an initial bridge on teeth numbers 8-10, with tooth 9 as the missing tooth which will be replaced with a porcelain bridge (pontic). For this example, an alternate benefit of a partial denture is approved. The negotiated fee for the alternate course of treatment of a partial denture is $1000.00.  For the Non-network example the reasonable and customary amount is $1,000 for the partial denture.

	Network	Non-Network
Dental Bridge	$ 2,000	$ 3,000
R&C limit	$ 2,000	$ 2,000
Cost in excess of R&C limit (A-B)	$ 0	$ 1,000
Covered amount-cost of partial denture	$ 1,000	$ 1,000
Covered in excess of the covered amount (B-D)	$ 1,000	$ 1,000
Your copayment 50%* of covered amount (D* .5)	$ 500	$ 500
Your total cost (C+E+F)	$ 1,500	$ 2,500
*After deductible has been satisfied.

Note: When an alternative course of treatment is applied, reimbursement for the other missing teeth in the arch related to the initial bridge are subject to the alternative course of treatment benefit for the partial denture.

Recovery of overpayment

If you or your beneficiary receives a distribution of any amount from the Plan to which you are not entitled, you or your beneficiary will be required to repay the amount of the overpayment to ExxonMobil or the Plan. The Plan Administrator may make reasonable arrangements with you for repayment, see Fraud against the plan above.

Maintenance of benefits

Coordination of benefits for the ExxonMobil Employee Dental Plan

If you have coverage under other group plans, the benefits from the other plans will be taken into account if you have a claim. Other group plans include any other plan coverage provided by:

• Group insurance or any other arrangement of group coverage for individuals, whether or not the plan is insured, and
• No-fault and traditional fault auto insurance, including medical payments coverage provided on other than a group basis, to the extent allowed by law.

Determination of primary plan

To find out if benefits under the EMDP will be reduced, Aetna must first determine which plan pays benefits first. The determination of which plan pays first is made as follows:

• The plan without a coordination of benefits (COB) provision determines its benefits before the plan that has such a provision.
• The plan that covers a person other than as a dependent determines its benefits before the plan that covers the person as a dependent. If the person is eligible for Medicare and is not actively working, the Medicare Secondary Payer rules will apply. Under the Medicare Secondary Payer rules, the order of benefits will be determined as follows:
• The plan that covers the person as a dependent of a working spouse will pay first,
• Medicare will pay second, and
• The plan that covers the person as a retired employee will pay third.
• Except for children of divorced or separated parents, the plan of the parent whose birthday occurs earlier in the calendar year pays first. When both parents’ birthdays occur on the same day, the plan that has covered the parent the longest pays first. If the other plan doesn’t have the parent birthday rule, the other plan’s COB rule applies.
• When the parents of a child are divorced or separated:
• If there is a court decree which states that the parents will share joint custody of a child, without stating that one of the parents is responsible for the health care expenses of the child, the parent birthday rule, immediately above, applies.
• If a court decree gives financial responsibility for the child’s medical, dental, or other health care expenses to one of the parents, the plan covering the child as that parent’s dependent determines its benefits before any other plan that covers the child as a dependent.
• If there is no such court decree, the order of benefits will be determined as follows:
• the plan of the natural parent with whom the child resides,
• the plan of the stepparent with whom the child resides,
• the plan of the natural parent with whom the child does not reside, or
• the plan of the stepparent with whom the child does not reside.
• If an individual has coverage as an active employee or dependent of such employee, and also as retired or laid-off employee, the plan that covers the individual as an active employee or dependent of such employee is primary.
• The benefits of a plan which covers a person under a right of continuation under federal or state laws will be determined after the benefits of any other plan which does not cover the person under a right of continuation.
• If the above rules do not establish an order of payment, the plan that has covered the person for the longest time will pay benefits first.

If it is determined that the other plan pays first, the benefits paid under the EMDP will be reduced. Aetna will calculate this reduced amount as follows:

• The amount normally reimbursed for covered benefits under the EMDP,

• Benefits payable from your other plan(s).

If your other plan(s) provides benefits in the form of services rather than cash payments, the cash value of the services will be used in the calculation.

Calculation of Benefits

When EMDP is your primary plan, EMDP will pay your medical claims first, as if there is no other coverage. When EMDP is your secondary plan, EMDP will pay benefits after the primary plan, and that payment amount will be the lesser of:

• What EMDP would have paid if it had been primary, or
• What EMDP would have paid less the primary plan’s payment.

Incorrect computation of benefits

If you believe that the amount of benefit you receive from the ExxonMobil Dental Plan is incorrect, you should notify Aetna in writing or contact Aetna Member Services.  If it is found that you or a beneficiary were not paid benefits you or your beneficiary were entitled to, the Plan or ExxonMobil will pay the unpaid benefits.  (See Claims and Administrative and ERISA information sections.)

Medical claims for dental work

Some medical plans cover certain dental procedures by a dentist or oral surgeon. Dental procedures that may be covered by your medical plan include:

• Drugs prescribed by your dentist (would be covered by your prescription plan).
• Treatment of fractures or dislocations of the jaw.
• Treatment of teeth and surrounding tissue damaged due to an injury sustained while covered by the Plan.  If an accident occurs, claims may be payable as medical expenses, but claims are not coordinated with the ExxonMobil Dental Plan.

For information on which procedures performed by a dentist or oral surgeon may be considered to be medical in nature, contact Aetna Member Services.

After all the medical plans have responded, submit a dental claim form with the medical explanation of benefits (EOB) form(s) explaining the determination of benefits under the medical plan(s), along with a copy of your bill, to Aetna.

If you are an employee who participates in the ExxonMobil Pre-Tax Spending Plan Health Care Flexible Spending Account (HCFSA), Aetna will automatically process any eligible expenses remaining from your dental claim and send you the spending account reimbursement, if you have elected HCFSA automatic reimbursement. This means that, in most cases, you will not need to file a separate pre-tax claim form. 

Claims

Filing claims for the ExxonMobil Dental Plan

All dental claims must be filed within two years from the date services were received.  Before filing a dental claim, consider whether the expense may be covered under your medical plan. Be sure to read the information in the Medical claims for dental work section above.

Aetna Dental PPO Network providers should file all claims directly with Aetna. 

Claims for non-network provider care

The Plan has contracted with Aetna to process claims (see Information sources at the front of this SPD for the address and telephone number).

Before visiting a dentist who is not in the Aetna Dental PPO network, obtain a claim form from Aetna, Employee Connect, or ExxonMobil Family websites for yourself and/or each eligible family member having work done. Fill out the form with personal data about yourself or your family member. Give the form to the dentist. In many cases, the dentist will file the claim for you. If the dentist returns the form to you, send it and the dentist's itemized bill to Aetna. Keep a copy of the completed form for your records.

Keep these facts in mind when using a non-network provider:

• Most dentists expect payment in full for services at the time the work is done.
• When you file a claim form, benefits will be sent to you unless you specifically indicate that Aetna should pay the dentist directly.

In order to be reimbursed under the Plan, claims must be received by Aetna within two years from the date the expense was incurred. It is the participant's responsibility to ensure that claims are filed in a timely manner. If you or your dental provider submits claims past the claim filing deadline, those claims will not be covered by the Plan. You will be responsible for payment.

Explanation of benefits

Aetna will send you an explanation of benefits (EOB) for each claim. The EOB will show what service was performed, how much the dentist charged, and what the covered charge is under the Plan. It shows if a deductible or coinsurance was involved as well as the calculation used to determine your benefit. If payment is not assigned to the provider the EOB for the claim will only be sent to the participant; requests for any additional information needed to resolve the claim will go to participant only. 

Claim denial and reconsideration

If all or part of a claim is denied, Aetna will provide you with a written explanation, including the reason for the denial. See the Administrative and ERISA information section in this SPD.

Claims outside the United States

To receive dental care when traveling or working outside the United States, generally you must pay the dental bills first. For reimbursement, submit a claim form and an itemized bill that includes a copy of the tooth chart clearly identifying the tooth number(s) and copies of the diagnostic dental x-rays, periodontal charting, and narrative as appropriate. Indicate if the provider is using a USA standard tooth number or a different tooth identification standard. If the original bills are in a foreign language, you should obtain an English translation, if possible, of the services rendered.

Bills should be submitted in the appropriate foreign currency. The claims administrator (Aetna) will convert the bill to U.S. dollars as of the date of service using the currency converter website Oanda at www.oanda.com.

Benefit Claims procedures

When a claim comes in, your employer decides how you and the plan will split the expense. We also explain what you can do if you think we got it wrong.

Claims are processed in the order in which they are received.

Claim procedures

You or your dental provider are required to send us a claim in writing. You can request a claim form from us. We will review that claim for payment to the provider or to you as appropriate.

The table below explains the claim procedures as follows:

Notice	Requirement	Deadline
Submit a claim	You should notify get a claim form from our self-service website or call us The claim form will provide instructions on how to complete and where to send the forms	You must send us notice and proof as soon as reasonably possible If you are unable to complete a claim form, you may send us:  A description of services Bill of charges Any dental documentation you received from your dental provider
Proof of claim When you have received a service from an eligible dental provider, you will be charged.  The information you receive for that service is your proof of loss.	A completed claim form and any additional information required by your employer	You must send us notice and proof as soon as reasonably possible
Benefit payment	Written proof must be provided for all benefits If we challenge any portion of a claim, the unchallenged portion of the claim will be paid promptly after the receipt of proof of loss.	Benefits will be paid as soon as the necessary proof to support the claim is received

If, through no fault of your own, you are not able to meet the deadline for filing a claim, your claim will still be accepted if it is filed as soon as possible. Unless you are legally incapacitated, late claims will not be covered if they are filed more than 24 months after the deadline.

Communicating our claim decisions

The amount of time that we have to tell you about our decision on a claim is shown below.

Post-service claim 

A post service claim is a claim that involves dental care services you have already received.

Type of notice	Post-service claim
Initial decision by us	30 days
Extensions	15 days
If we request more information	30 days
Time you have to send us additional information	45 days

Adverse benefit determinations

We pay many claims at the full rate negotiated charge with in-network providers and the recognized charge with out-of-network providers, except for your share of the costs. But sometimes we pay only some of the claim. and sometimes we don’t pay at all. Any time we don’t pay even part of the claim, that is called an “adverse benefit determination” or “adverse decision”.

If we make an adverse benefit determination, we will tell you in writing.

The difference between a complaint and an appeal 

A complaint

You may not be happy about a dental provider or an operational issue, and you may want to complain. You can call or us. Your complaint should include a description of the issue. You should include copies of any records or documents that you think are important. We will review the information and provide you with a written response within 30 calendar days of receiving the complaint. We will let you know if we need more information to make a decision.

An appeal

You can ask us to review an adverse benefit determination. This is called an appeal.

Appeals of adverse benefit determinations

Aetna will send you written notice of an adverse benefit determination. The notice will give the reason for the decision and will explain what steps you must take if you wish to appeal. The notice will also tell you about your rights to receive additional information that may be relevant to the appeal. Requests for appeal must be made in writing within 180 days from the date of the notice.

The Plan provides for two levels of appeal plus an option to seek External Review of the adverse benefit determination. You must complete the two levels of appeal before bringing a lawsuit.

• You can appeal by sending a written appeal to the address on the notice of adverse benefit determination. You need to include:
• Your name
• The employer’s name
• A copy of the adverse benefit determination
• Your reasons for making the appeal
• Any other information you would like us to consider

Another person may submit an appeal for you, including a dental provider. That person is called an authorized representative. You need to tell us if you choose to have someone else appeal for you (even if it is your dental provider). You should fill out an authorized representative form telling us that you are allowing someone to appeal for you. You can get this form on our website or by contacting us. The form will tell you where to send it to us. You can use an authorized representative at any level of appeal.

If you appeal a second time you must present your appeal within 60 calendar days from the date you receive the notice of the first appeal decision. 

Timeframes for deciding appeals

The amount of time that we have to tell you about our decision on an appeal claim depends on the type of claim. The chart below shows a timetable view of the different types of claims and how much time we have to tell you about our decision.

Type of notice	Post-service appeal
Initial decision by us	30 days

Exhaustion of appeals process

You must complete the appeal process with us before you can take these actions:

• Appeal through an external review process.
• Pursue arbitration, litigation, or other type of administrative proceeding.

External review

External review is a review done by people in an organization outside of Aetna. This is called an external review organization (ERO). Sometimes, this is called an independent review organization (IRO).

You have a right to external review only if:

• Our claim decision involved medical judgment.
• We decided the service or supply is not medically necessary or not appropriate.
• We decided the service or supply is experimental or investigational.
• You have received an adverse determination.

If our claim decision is one for which you can seek external review, we will say that in the notice of adverse benefit determination or final adverse benefit determination we send you. That notice also will describe the external review process. It will include a copy of the Request for External Review form at the final adverse determination level.

You must submit the Request for External Review form:

• To Aetna
• Within 4 months of the date you received the decision from us
• And you must include a copy of the notice from us and all other important information that supports your request

You will pay for any information that you send and want reviewed by the ERO. We will pay for information we send to the ERO plus the cost of the review.

Aetna will contact the ERO that will conduct the review of your claim.

The ERO will:

• Assign the appeal to one or more independent clinical reviewers that have the proper expertise to do the review
• Consider appropriate credible information that you sent
• Follow our contractual documents and your plan of benefits
• Send notification of the decision within 45 calendar days of the date we receive your request form and all the necessary information

We will stand by the decision that the ERO makes, unless we can show conflict of interest, bias or fraud.

How long will it take to get an ERO decision?

We will tell you of the ERO decision not more than 45 calendar days after we receive your Notice of External Review Form with all the information you need to send in.

Recordkeeping

We will keep the records of all complaints and appeals for at least 10 years.

Fees and expenses

We do not pay any fees or expenses incurred by you when you submit a complaint or appeal.

Statute of limitations

After you have received the response to the mandatory appeal, you may bring an action under section 502(a) of ERISA. Such action must be filed within one year of the date on which your mandatory appeal was decided. The statute of limitations or other defense based on timeliness is suspended during the time that a voluntary appeal is pending. 

No implied promises

Nothing in this SPD says or implies that participation in the ExxonMobil Dental Plan is a guarantee of continued employment with the company.

Future of the Plan

ExxonMobil expects to continue the Plan. However, ExxonMobil has the right to change, suspend, withdraw, amend, modify or terminate the Plan or any of its provisions at any time and for any reason. A change may also be made to required contributions and future eligibility for coverage, and may apply to those who retired in the past, as well as those who retire in the future. If any material changes are made in the future, you will be notified. For health plans, certain rules apply regarding what happens when a plan is changed, terminated or merged.

Expenses incurred before the effective date of a plan change or termination will not be affected. Expenses incurred after a plan is terminated will not be covered. If the Plan cannot pay all of the incurred claims and plan expenses as of the date the Plan is changed or terminated, ExxonMobil will make sufficient contributions to the Plan to make up the difference. If all claims and expenses are paid and there's still money in ExxonMobil's book reserve established for the purpose of making contributions toward the cost of employees' health care coverage, ExxonMobil will determine what to do with the excess amount in view of the purposes of the Plans.

Your rights under ERISA

As a participant in the ExxonMobil Dental Plan, you have certain rights and protections under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). ERISA provides that as a plan participant, you shall be entitled to:

Receive information about your plan and benefits

• Examine, without charge, at the office of the Administrator-Benefits and at other specified locations, such as worksites and union halls, all documents governing the Dental Plan, including collective bargaining agreements, and a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) filed by the Dental Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor and available at the Public Disclosure Room of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.
• Obtain, upon written request to the Administrator-Benefits, copies of documents governing the operation of the Dental Plan, including collective bargaining agreements, and copies of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) and updated summary plan description. The administrator may require a reasonable charge for the copies.
• Receive a summary of the Dental Plan's annual financial report. The Administrator-Benefits is required by law to furnish each participant with a copy of this summary annual report.

Prudent actions by dental plan fiduciaries

In addition to creating rights for Dental Plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee benefit plan. The people who operate your Dental Plan, called fiduciaries of the Dental Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other Dental Plan participants and beneficiaries. No one, including your employer, your union, or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a plan benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA.

Enforce your rights

• If your claim for a benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision, without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules.
• Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if you request a copy of Dental Plan documents or the latest summary annual report from the Dental Plan and do not receive them within 30 days, you may file suit in a federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Administrator-Benefits to provide the materials and pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the administrator.
• If you have a claim and an appeal for benefits, which are denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you may file suit in a federal court. Such lawsuit must be filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston, Texas, or in the United States District Court for the federal judicial district where the employee currently works. If a retiree or terminee, the suit must be filed in the last location worked prior to termination of employment. Beneficiaries must also file in the same federal judicial district that the employee or retiree would be required to file. Any such lawsuit must be brought within one year of the date on which an appeal was denied. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful, the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds your claim is frivolous.

Assistance with your questions

If you have any questions about your Dental Plan, you should contact Aetna Member Services via the telephone number on your ID card, or or call the ExxonMobil Benefits Service Center. 

If you have any questions about this statement or about your rights under ERISA, or if you need assistance in obtaining documents from the Administrator-Benefits, you should contact the nearest office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in your telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210.

You may also obtain certain publications about your rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.

The following are not eligible to participate in the Plan: leased employees as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, barred employees, or special agreement persons as defined in the Plan document.

• (d) if a child of a retiree, is not eligible to be enrolled in Medicare as their primary medical plan, or
• (3) the child is recognized under a qualified medical child support order as having a right to coverage under this Plan.

• Commonly and customarily recognized by the United States dental community as appropriate in the treatment or management of the condition for which it is ordered. The Administrator-Benefits has the exclusive and final authority to determine if a service or supply is medically necessary as used in the Plan. In making this determination, the findings and assessments of the United States dental community and the experience and expertise of the claims administrator shall be considered along with evaluation from independent professionals. As used herein, the United States dental community shall include national dental associations, societies and organizations including, but not limited to, the American Dental Association. The Administrator-Benefits may apply different standards to different services or supplies in determining medical necessity. Additionally, the Administrator-Benefits may consider the Dental Clinical Policy Bulletins (CPBs) published by Aetna, the claims administrator. Dental CPBs are based on established, nationally accepted governmental and/or professional society recommendations, as well as other recognized sources. These Dental CPBs may be found on the Aetna website at www.aetna.com.

Predetermination

A written pre-determination request will result in a detailed response as to whether a treatment or service is covered under the Dental Plan and whether the proposed cost is within reasonable and customary limits, thus ensuring all parties are aware of the financial consequences, providing all circumstances described in the request remain unchanged. Please note that a pre-determination, either verbal or written, is not a guarantee of payment, as claims are paid based on the actual services rendered and in accordance with Plan provisions.
