1 PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS AIG Group Scheduled Reimbursement Dental SM Insurance Under the AIG Group Scheduled Reimbursement Dental SM plan, we combine choice and affordability to create long-term satisfaction. Benefits and plan costs are more predictable from year to year compared with plans based on R&C charges. The scheduled reimbursement design of the program controls cost by assigning specific dental fees to specific procedures. For example, for each dental procedure performed, an insured is reimbursed the dollar amount listed on the schedule for that procedure. If the dentist s fee is greater than the schedule amount, the insured is responsible for the balance and the deductible.
