Two providers stand in front of a group of people

Delta Dental Premier

Our traditional fee-for-service program in which dentists submit usual fees and are reimbursed based on a maximum approved fee. Over 95% of the state's licensed dentists participate in Delta Dental Premier. Reimbursement for Delta Dental Premier members is based on a regional fee schedule which is reviewed annually. Delta Dental pays participating dentists directly for each covered service rendered based on the lesser of the submitted fee or the fee published in Delta Dental’s Premier fee schedule.

Delta Dental PPO

Our preferred provider organization program is Delta Dental’s fastest growing dental plan. Reimbursement for Delta Dental PPO patients is based on a regional fee schedule which is reviewed annually. Delta Dental pays participating dentists directly for each covered service rendered based on the lesser of the submitted fee or the fee published in Delta Dental’s PPO fee schedule. Members eligible for benefits can receive care from any dentist they choose, but they can lower their out-of-pocket costs by choosing a Delta Dental PPO participating dentist.

Delta Delta EPO

Our Exclusive Provider Organization Program which was created in response to Health Care Reform. The Delta Dental EPO Network is also the network for the Delta Dental Patient Direct Discount Plan. Reimbursement for Delta Dental EPO members is based on a fee schedule. Delta Dental pays participating dentists directly for each covered service rendered based on the lesser of the submitted fee or the fee published in Delta Dental’s EPO fee schedule.
