The Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey Dental Programs’ Policy Manual does not constitute dental advice, authorization, certification, approval, explanation of benefits, offer of coverage, contract or guarantee of payment. The Dental Policy Manual is confidential and proprietary. It is to be used only as authorized by Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey and its affiliates. The contents of the Dental Policy Manual are not to be copied, reproduced, or circulated to other parties without the express written consent of Horizon BCBSNJ. The contents of the Dental Policy Manual may be updated or changed with 30-day prior notification. However, benefit determinations are made in the context of Dental Policies existing at the time of the decision, and are not subject to later revision as the result of a change in Dental Policy.

The purpose of the Dental Policy Manual is to provide Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey with a tool for the objective comparison of clinical office practices among network participating and nonparticipating dentists. These policies are not intended to direct the course of clinical care you provide to an individual Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey member. Neither do these policies replace your independent professional clinical judgment or your professional duty to exercise your special knowledge and skill in the treatment of your patients. As set forth in your participating provider agreement, you remain responsible for the quality and type of dental care services provided to Horizon BCBSNJ members.
