Why Delta Dental Insurance for Employers?
Smiles all around
Backed by the largest network of dentists
Delta Dental makes it a priority to partner with dentists where enrollees live and work. This can mean less time lost from enrollees traveling to the dentist and less time spent helping enrollees search for quality care close by.
Resources to brighten smiles
Greatest dental access in the US¹
Delta Dental PPO™
What separates Delta Dental PPO from the pack? Access, both to significant savings from Delta Dental PPO dentists and to Delta Dental contracted dentists. Combined, these networks offer the greatest dentist access in the U.S.,¹ giving groups and enrollees more ways to save.
DeltaCare® USA
Think a copay network can’t compete? Think again. Our DeltaCare USA network drives affordability and simplicity. With conveniently located primary and specialty care dentists, enrollees can choose great care close to home.
The nation’s best net effective discount
When evaluating the total value PPO dental benefits offer, it’s important to consider a combination of network factors including size, utilization and contracted savings. This is called the effective discount. According to a recent study by Dental Actuarial Analytics, Delta Dental PPO can give your group the industry’s best effective discount.²⁻³
Dentists you can trust
Beyond network size and accessibility, it’s important to know that your networks are made up of dentists you can trust. Not only do we recruit highly credentialed dentists from the outset, but we also make sure our dentists maintain strict quality standards. In fact, Delta Dental Insurance Company received accreditation by NCQA in Credentialing.⁴
No leased dentist networks
With so many carriers leasing dental networks, it’s easy to accept this as the norm. While the potential for more dentist access is appealing, it’s important to know if leased networks are really providing value. Because we never lease our networks, we can offer your group distinct advantages like:
- Direct contracts and relationships with all of our network dentists
- Consistent credentialing of all network dentists to the same high standard
- Low network turnover, which can mean a more accurate network depiction
- Predictable fees and consistent processing policies across our networks
Happy clients, happy enrollees
Being in business for over 60 years has taught us a lot of lessons, like how to make you and your enrollees happy. See what the numbers say about us:
- 98% Client satisfaction⁵
- 99% Enrollee retention⁵
- 80 million+ enrollees in 141,000 groups⁶
- 41% Fortune 1000 companies offering our benefits⁶
