How to enroll
Enrolling in a Delta Dental FEDVIP plan is simple. Most people sign up during Open Season, but you can also enroll outside of Open Season if you're newly eligible or experience a qualifying life event. Either way, you’ll enroll through BENEFEDS, which is the official site for federal dental benefits.
Enrolling during Open Season
Open enrollment season is your once-a-year chance to pick the dental coverage that fits your needs. It’s the most common time to enroll in a Delta Dental FEDVIP dental plan.
To get started:
- Visit BENEFEDS.gov or call 1-877-888-FEDS (1-877-888-3337) TTY 711.
- Choose Delta Dental as your carrier.
- Pick your plan. Your benefits become effective January 1.
Enrolling outside of Open Season
Life doesn’t always stick to a schedule. If you're newly eligible or going through a qualifying life event, you may not have to wait for Open Season. You can enroll within 60 days if you’re:
- A new federal employee
- A retiring uniformed service member (can enroll between 31 days prior to military retirement date and 60 days following)
- Experiencing a qualifying life event (QLE)

- We negotiate rates with in-network providers that save members up to 40% on covered procedures. Savings estimate is evaluated according to National Provider File average procedure fees in August 2023 and may vary in your location and these rates may not apply to you.

- Lane Health is a financial technology company, not a bank. The Healthcare Spending Visa® Card is issued by Lead Bank pursuant to a license from Visa USA Inc.
- Lane Health does not charge interest on, or an annual fee for, the Healthcare Spending VISA® Card. “0% financing” pertains to repayment options that do not charge interest (0% interest) nor fees ($0 fees). Each Advance can be repaid in full, 4-month term or 12-month term (with a minimum $3 due each payment period). Transactions other than qualified dental or hospital expenses (based on merchant category code) will be charged an origination fee of 5% and periodic finance fees. The location of the service provider is not determinative of whether a transaction is a qualified hospital expense. Rather, transactions made within or at a hospital (including but not limited to specialists, doctors, pharmacies, etcetera) are determined to be eligible by the associated MCC and not the location of the service provider in the hospital. New Advances, if eligible, can be repaid in full or over 4 installments with no origination or periodic finance fees. Subject to change without notice. Late fees apply. You can review the fee table at lanehealth.com/hsc-lb-dd-fees.
