Shenandoah Life Insurance Company Group Dental Insurance Policy
Paragon Benefits and Shenandoah Life Insurance Company have partnered to offer a combination of
Paragon's fee -for -service COM 1000 benefit plan and Shenandoah Life's group Wellness Plan dental
insurance policy to provide you with a comprehensive dental program.
The Paragon COM 1000 Plan is a comprehensive fee -for -service benefit plan that is sponsored by a large
network of dental providers throughout the State of Florida (network access). The Paragon COM 1000 Plan
ensures that the provider does not charge a plan member any additional amount for preventive services for
which benefits are payable under the Shenandoah Life dental insurance policy. The COM 1000 Dental Plan
also provides a comprehensive fee -for -service benefit plan that covers additional preventive, basic, major,
and orthodontic services with no waiting periods. The COM 1000 Plan fee schedule offers guaranteed co -
payments on over 300 ADA Codes that the provider cannot upgrade compared to an average of 140 ADA
Codes listed on typical capitated plans ensuring that the provider does not overcharge the patient. The
patient co -payments for basic and major services represent significant savings. Orthodontia and Specialty
services are also covered. (See the Schedule of Benefits for specific plan benefits).
The combination of the COM 1000 Plan and the Wellness Plan provides your employees and their families
with comprehensive dental care. The rates are guaranteed for one (1) year from the effective date of
January 1, 2005. All administrative, reporting and account service functions are included.
