Word of Mouth

When it comes to using their benefits, it’s important for your employees to stay on top of their diagnostic and preventive (D&P) care. This vital care helps discover any concerns early. When you add the Delta Dental D&P Maximum Waiver® plan enhancement, your team can preserve their full annual maximum for major care, encouraging them to get the routine dental care they need.

This added feature can help your employees make the most of their benefits, save money and stay healthy.
 

What is the D&P Maximum Waiver?

The D&P Maximum Waiver is an affordable, optional feature that can be added to Delta Dental PPO™ group plans. With this option, claims for diagnostic and preventive services won’t count against members’ annual maximums. The D&P Maximum Waiver is available on members’ effective date and is simple to use, with no qualifying events or dollar amounts to track. 

Common diagnostic and preventive services include:

• X-rays
• Cleanings
• Exams

How does the D&P Maximum Waiver help your business and employees?

Adding the D&P Maximum Waiver option helps your employees save money by letting their dollars go farther without having to pay more for a higher annual maximum. This promotes employee wellness, and helps your business avoid lost productivity due to dental emergencies.

By ensuring that D&P procedures don’t count against their annual maximums, the D&P Maximum Waiver helps prevent members from skipping routine care to save for potential extensive dental treatment they might need, like fillings, gum disease treatment, root canals and crowns.

Here’s an example comparing the annual maximum dollars available for members with and without the D&P Maximum Waiver.

With the D&P Maximum Waiver, members have more of their annual maximum left after getting diagnostic and preventive care.

If you would like to encourage your employees to increase their in-network utilization, the D&P Maximum Waiver can be set up to only apply at Delta Dental PPO dentists.
