Delta Dental’s plans prioritize preventive care and dentist access, which may be able to keep health care costs low.
Freedom to choose
If dentist access is a high priority, Delta Dental PPO might be a great fit. Enrollees will likely save the most when they visit a Delta Dental PPO dentist, but they can visit any licensed dentist of their choice. And, with nearly 80% of practicing dentists in our networks, there’s a good chance they’re already visiting a network provider.¹
Industry’s best effective discount
What separates Delta Dental PPO from other carriers of dental PPO products? More network savings. According to an independent consulting firm, Delta Dental PPO offers the nation’s best effective discount.² This means our networks can deliver the most value through a combination of network size, utilization and discounts.
Predictable dental benefits costs
If predictability and more cost-management are valued, our copay product might be the best choice. Costs for covered services are provided up front, so enrollees can prepare for treatment costs ahead of time. Enrollees simply visit a DeltaCare USA contracted dentist and pay the predefined copayment.
Competitive dental coverage
While many value the transparency and affordable premiums DeltaCare USA offers, these plans offer much more than preventive care. DeltaCare USA plans cover 300+ procedures, including no or low copayments for preventive care. Plus, there are no annual deductibles, waiting periods or maximums to worry about.³
Dental plans that work for you. Choose the best fit and get started.
Best if dentist access is a high priority.
This preferred provider plan offers the convenience and flexibility of visiting any licensed dentist. Covered services are paid based on a percentage — if, for example, fillings are covered at 80%, enrollees pay the remaining 20%. Get the most plan value by choosing a Delta Dental PPO dentist. PPO network dentists complete claim forms for enrollees and can help advise you on questions regarding enrollees' share of the payment.
Best if cost management and predictability are priorities.
Under this HMO-type plan, enrollees have their choice of skilled primary care dentists from the DeltaCare USA network. Enrollees select a primary care dentist, and this dentist will then coordinate any needed referrals to a specialist.⁵ Covered services provided by their DeltaCare USA dentist have preset copayments (dollar amounts), which are listed in their plan booklet. There are no maximums, waiting periods or deductibles.⁶
