Services must be provided at a Participating Facility and are subject to Utilization Review by Kaiser using criteria developed by Medical Group and approved by Kaiser. General anesthesia Services and related facility charges in conjunction with any non-covered dental procedure performed in an ambulatory surgical center are covered if such anesthesia Services and related facility charges are Medically Necessary because the Member:  is a child under age seven, or is physically or developmentally disabled, with a dental condition that cannot be safely and effectively treated in a dental office; or  has a medical condition that the Member’s PCP determines would place the Member at undue risk if the dental procedure were performed in a dental office. For the purpose of this section, “general anesthesia Services” means Services to induce a state of unconsciousness accompanied by a loss of protective reflexes, including the ability to maintain an airway independently and respond purposefully to physical stimulation or verbal command. Nitrous oxide analgesia is not reimbursable as general anesthesia. 28.

Covered drugs and supplies must be prescribed by a Participating Provider or any licensed dentist in accordance with our drug Formulary guidelines. Over-the-counter contraceptive drugs, device, and products, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), do not require a prescription in order to be covered. You must obtain drugs and supplies at a Participating Pharmacy (including our Mail-Order Pharmacy). You may obtain a first fill of a drug or supply at any Participating Pharmacy. All refills must be obtained through a pharmacy owned and operated by Kaiser Permanente (including our Mail-Order Pharmacy), or at another Participating Pharmacy that we designate for covered refills.
