When dental procedures under Delta Dental’s Federal Employee Dental Program are coordinated with the Federal Employee Health Benefits (FEHB) Plan, the FEHB plan must always be primary.

Many federal employees and annuitants have some dental benefit coverage available under the FEHB plan. Federal law requires that benefits for all dental procedures under Delta Dental’s Federal Employee Dental Program be coordinated with the FEHB Plan and the FEHB Plan will be the first/primary payor of any benefit payments. Delta Dental’s Federal Employee Dental Program is secondary to the FEHB Plan. Direct your employees to the Coordinating Benefits with Other Coverage section of the Federal Employees Dental Program FAQs for more details about filing claims and overseas treatment.
