Dental

Under the Delta Dental Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan, dental services are provided

through the Delta Dental PPO network. However, you can visit dentists inside or outside the

network. What you pay depends on whether you choose a participating dentist. If you choose

a non-participating dentist, you pay the difference between the amount the dentist receives

from Delta Dental (the “allowable amount”) and the dentist’s charges.

You may also choose to visit a Delta Dental

Premier

provider. Premier dentists may not bill above

Delta Dental’s allowable amount, so your out-of-pocket costs may be lower than with a non-

participating dentist. Your costs are usually lowest when you visit a Delta Dental PPO dentist.

Pre-authorization from Delta Dental is recommended for charges of $250 or more.
