Delta Dental Plan Overview
This page has information on Delta Dental. Delta Dental is available to all employees. It is not currently available for retirees.
With nearly 80% of practicing dentists in Delta’s networks, there is a good chance you already see a Delta Dental provider. To maximize your savings, it is important to be aware of the Delta network the dentist belongs to. Delta has three different networks of providers:
- Delta PPO
- Delta Premier
- Non-Delta dentists
While you can visit any licensed dentist and still receive a benefit, you will save the most by visiting a Delta PPO or Premier dentist.
Network | Explanation |
---|---|
Delta PPO | Visit a dentist in this network to maximize your savings. In general, you should expect to save about 30% on contracted services which will help reduce any out of pocket costs you may experience. PPO dentists have pre-negotiated their fees with Delta and have agreed not to balance bill Delta patients. |
Delta Premier | You will experience a smaller savings of 8-16% on contracted services by visiting a Premier dentist. Premier dentists have pre-negotiated their fees with Delta and have agreed not to balance bill Delta patients. |
Non-Delta Dentists | While you will still receive a benefit from Delta while seeing an out-of-network dentist, these dentists do not have pre-negotiated rates with Delta. In addition, an out-of-network dentist may balance bill you the remainder of the bill Delta does not pay. |
