Frequently asked questions for dental insurance agents

Have questions about selling Delta Dental plans to individual and families? Find answers here. For all broker FAQs, download the PDF.

Getting started

You can get registered/appointed and manage your account online using Delta Dental’s Broker Portal. Start by registering for Online Services and fill out some basic information to create an account. Once you’re registered, you can apply for appointment and update and manage account preferences and information.

Timing depends on how many states you’ve requested appointment in and the response times from each state’s Department of Insurance.

For questions about registration, appointment, commissions, products or enrollment, please email Delta Dental at producerservices@delta.org or call 866-760-4080.

Yes, you can start selling immediately in the states you’re appointed in once you receive your official email confirmation and your assigned broker number.

No, as long as you have an existing appointment with Delta Dental, you can also sell our plans for individuals in the states/entities for which you’ve received appointment.

Selling plans

You have access to discounts on products and services that promote a healthy and balanced lifestyle — from oral care to hearing aids and LASIK vision services. Find more details about member perks.

You may only sell in the states where you have already received an approved appointment. However, you can easily add more states by uploading additional licenses on the Broker Portal.

There are a couple ways to get credit. The easiest way is by sharing your unique Delta Dental broker link with your individual clients. The link will lead your clients directly to our instant quoting and enrollment flow. Because it’s tied to your broker number, we’ll know you’re responsible when your clients enroll. Share your unique link in proposals, brochures, emails or even your website.

If you don't have your unique broker link or need more guidance, please email producerservices@delta.org or call 866-760-4080.

Another way to get credit for the sale is to have your clients enter your broker number during the application process. You can do this two different ways:
 

  1. On the online enrollment application, tell clients to select Yes under “Are you working with an insurance agent or broker?” and then enter your broker number in the Broker Number field.
  2. On the manual paper application, tell your clients to provide your information, including your broker number in the Agent/Producer Information section.

To see rates and plan benefits, visit the Get a Quote page. Simply enter some basic client information to view the latest plans and rates available. For enrollment, be sure to use your unique broker link.

Commissions

Depending on their plan type, enrollees will pay some or all of the plan premium upon enrollment. DeltaCare USA enrollees must pay the entire annual premium upon enrollment. Delta Dental PPO enrollees can choose to pay premiums on a monthly or annual basis. (Specific states may allow exceptions.)

You will receive 10% of premiums paid in each state. This applies both to new sales and renewals.

Commissions are paid on the tenth business day of each month for any premiums received in the prior month. You will receive monthly commissions for your clients who pay premiums monthly and annual premiums for your clients who pay premiums on an annual basis. 

Commissions can be paid via paper check or direct deposit. You get to choose your payment preference when you apply for appointment.

Commissions are paid based on your broker number, which is tied directly to the legal entity you listed on the appointment application.

To add and update your direct deposit information or change your payment method preference, please log into your broker portal account, click Business Info, click on the Payment Method tab. You can also complete and return the  direct deposit form and provide a copy of a voided check or official bank memo. 

Excel formatted commission statements will be sent via email on the tenth business day after payments are issued. The statements will be available via secure email for 30 days.

To download a list of your clients enrolled in an individual plan, please log into your broker portal account, click Business Info, click the Download IND Book of Business button.
