Oral health is an important part of your overall health. Group Health* has partnered with the Washington Dental Service (WDS) PPO Program to offer you this
dental plan as part of your complete Clear Care plan when you choose dental benefits. You have the freedom to use any dentist, with better benefits if you see a preferred provider. The dental plan is designed to provide you with full coverage for your semiannual dental checkups when you see a PPO provider so that dental health problems can be detected early.
