EHB Certified Low Plan

Good health starts with a healthy smile

A healthy smile is important—not only to your oral health, but for your overall health, too. In fact, your dentist can detect more than 120 signs and symptoms of nondental disease—including cancer, diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease and osteoporosis—during a routine oral exam.*

Having dental coverage helps you get the care you need to stay healthy. It can also help keep your overall health care costs down. That’s why we are pleased to offer you quality individual dental benefits. After all, good health starts with a healthy smile!

Save money by staying in network with our nationwide network of dentists

As a Delta Dental member, you may see any dentist you like. However, there are advantages to choosing a dentist who belongs to one of Delta Dental’s two dentist networks.

Delta Dental PPOSM network dentists offer significant fee reductions to Delta Dental members. This minimizes your out-of-pocket costs and maximizes your dental benefits.

You may also choose a dentist from the Delta Dental Premier® network. Fee savings with Delta Dental Premier are not as great as with our PPO network, but Delta Dental Premier offers many advantages over visiting nonparticipating dentists.

The table below illustrates some of the advantages of choosing an in-network dentist.

Claims and payments
Delta Dental participating dentists fill out and submit claim forms for you. Claim payments are sent directly to the dentist. Staying in network makes claims and payment hassle-free!
You may have to fill out and submit your own claim forms. Claim payments will be sent to you. Because of this, the dentist may require you to pay the full cost of treatment up front.
Network discounts
Lowest out-of-pocket costs.
Higher out-of-pocket costs than Delta Dental PPO, but may be lower than a nonparticipating dentist.
You may have the highest out-of-pocket costs.

Low Plan—Delta Dental PPO (Standard)

This plan is based on the Delta Dental PPO network, therefore Delta Dental Premier and nonparticipating dentists can bill members for charges above the allowed Delta Dental PPO amount. With this plan, you are highly encouraged to obtain services from a Delta Dental PPO dentist to maximize your benefits and reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
