Delta Dental PPO™
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.
DeltaCare® USA
Predictable dental benefits costs
DeltaCare USA plans offer straightforward, comprehensive coverage for members that’s easy to administer. Delta Dental sales representatives can help you find and implement a plan that fits your company, with ongoing support from dedicated Delta Dental teams.
Competitive dental coverage
While many value the transparency and affordable premiums DeltaCare USA offers, these DHMO-type plans offer much more than preventive care. DeltaCare USA plans cover 350+ procedures, including cleanings and exams at low or no cost. Plus, there are no annual deductibles, waiting periods or maximums to worry about.³
Compare dental plans
Dental plans that meet your needs. We’re here to help you choose the best fit and get started. Here’s a quick overview to help you compare dental insurance plans:
-
Delta Dental PPO™⁴
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.
-
DeltaCare® USA
Best if cost management and predictability are priorities.
Your employees will benefit from DeltaCare USA’s simplicity — no waiting periods, no paperwork, no claims and no surprises, with easy, preset copayments.
Members simply select a DeltaCare USA general dentist, who will coordinate any needed referrals to a specialist.⁵ Most DeltaCare USA dentists also participate in Delta Dental PPO’s network, so members have access to the same great service with a plan that fits their budget.
