                 1      Choose from two plan options


                        The AARP Dental Insurance Plan lets
                        you choose from two plan options with
                        two different benefit levels. The eligible
                        dental     procedures       covered,      waiting
                        periods and most other aspects of the
                        plan are identical under the two options.
                        Both plans cover three cleanings per year.
                        There are differences in the copayment
                        levels, calendar year deductible and
                        calendar year maximum benefit amount.
                        These specific differences are noted in
                        red in the following chart.
