BENEFIT HIGHLIGHTS FOR DELTA DENTAL PPO

Delta Dental offers you what no other dental plan can - The Delta Dental Differences"'. Here's what makes us a leading provider of dental benefits:

Exceptional Cost Savings - Our networks protect enrollees from balance billing and prevent dentists from charging more by "unbundling" services that should be billed as one service. Your costs are usually lowest when you visit a Delta Dental dentist.

Guaranteed CoinsurancelCopayment - Delta Dental dentists agree to accept our determination of fees. They won't balance bill over Delta Dental's approved amount for covered services.

Professional Treatment Standards - Delta Dental reviews utilization patterns and office practices to ensure that Delta Dental dentists meet professional standards for safety and quality of care.

The Delta Dental PPO program allows you the freedom to visit any licensed dentist, however, there are advantages to visiting a Delta Dental PPO network dentist instead of an out-of-network dentist. Consider the information below:

IN-PPO NETWORK

OUT-OF-PPO NETWORK

You will usually pay the lowest amount for services

when you visit a Delta Dental PPO dentist.

PPO dentists agree to accept a reduced fee for PPO

patients.

You are responsible for the difference between the

amount Delta Dental pays and the amount your out-of‑

network dentist bills. You will usually have higher out‑

of-pocket costs when you visit an out of network

dentist.**

You are charged only the patient's share* at the time

treatment. Delta Dental pays its portion directly to

the dentist.

Your dentist may require you to pay the entire amount

of the bill in advance and wait for reimbursement.

PPO dentists will complete claim forms and submit

them for you at no charge.forms,

You may have to complete and submit your own claim

or pay your non-Delta Dental dentist a service

fee to submit them for you.

 

" PPO dentist fees usually offer the greatest savings, but if you do not visit a PPO dentist, you may benefit by choosing a Delta Dental Premier dentist over a non-Delta Dental dentist. Since Premier dentists agree not to balance bill over Delta Dental's approved amount, your out-of-pocket costs may be lower than with non-Delta Dental dentists.
