Coverage Details with Delta Dental Premier

Delta Dental Premier offers comprehensive PPO coverage that can make maintaining your oral health more affordable. The coverage is designed to help reduce your out-of-pocket costs for various dental services. Here’s a breakdown of what’s typically covered under Delta Dental Premier:

1. Preventive Care (Covered at 100%)

Preventive care is the cornerstone of good oral health, and Delta Dental Premier typically covers these services at 100%. These include:

  • Routine cleanings (usually twice per year)
  • Oral exams
  • X-rays (for diagnostic purposes)
  • Fluoride treatments
  • Dental sealants for children

These services are designed to help you avoid more costly procedures by catching potential issues early. With full coverage for preventive care, you can maintain your oral health with no out-of-pocket costs, provided you follow the guidelines of your plan.

2. Basic Care (Covered at 70%-80%)

Basic dental services are typically covered at 70% to 80% under Delta Dental Premier. This category includes common procedures such as:

  • Fillings (for cavities)
  • Simple tooth extractions
  • Periodontal scaling and root planing (for treating gum disease)

Depending on the specifics of your plan, you may be responsible for a co-payment or coinsurance, but Delta Dental Premier typically covers the majority of these costs, making these treatments affordable and accessible.

3. Major Care (Covered at 50%)

Major procedures are covered at a rate of around 50%. These are more complex treatments that may involve significant restoration of teeth or oral structures. Examples of major care include:

  • Crowns
  • Dentures and partial dentures
  • Bridges
  • Root canals

Since these treatments often require a higher level of care and specialized equipment, you can expect to pay some out-of-pocket costs. However, Delta Dental Premier helps offset a substantial portion of the cost, making these procedures more affordable.

4. Orthodontics (Partial Coverage, Lifetime Maximum)

Some Delta Dental Premier PPO plans offer coverage for orthodontic treatments, such as braces or clear aligners. However, the coverage is often partial and subject to a lifetime maximum. If your plan includes orthodontics, it typically helps with a portion of the costs, but there may be limits based on your plan details.

How to Verify Your Delta Dental Premier Benefits

Understanding what’s covered under your specific Delta Dental Premier plan can help you avoid unexpected costs. Here’s how you can easily verify your benefits:

  1. Contact Our Office

At Clove Dental, we’re happy to verify your benefits on your behalf. Simply provide us with your Delta Dental Premier insurance information, and we will contact the insurance company directly to confirm your coverage for the services you need.

  1. Use the Delta Dental Member Portal

You can also verify your benefits by visiting Delta Dental’s online portal. After logging into your account, you’ll be able to see detailed information about your coverage, including:

  • What services are covered
  • Your deductible and annual maximum
  • The percentage of coverage for various treatments

The portal is a great tool for reviewing your benefits at any time and can help you plan your dental care accordingly.

  1. Pre-Treatment Estimates

Before undergoing major dental procedures, we recommend requesting a pre-treatment estimate. This is a formal process where Clove Dental submits a treatment plan to Delta Dental Premier for review. This way, you’ll know exactly what your plan will cover and what your out-of-pocket costs will be.

Clarifying PPO Insurance Partners

Delta Dental Premier is a PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) insurance plan, which means it offers flexibility in choosing dental care providers. You can visit any licensed dentist, but by selecting an in-network provider like Clove Dental, you will receive the highest level of coverage. In-network dentists have agreed to lower rates, which can save you money on your dental treatments. If you see an out-of-network provider, you may have higher out-of-pocket costs, as the insurance may pay a lower percentage of your treatment.

Yes, Delta Dental Premier allows you to visit any dentist. However, if you choose an out-of-network provider, you may pay higher costs. Visiting an in-network dentist, like Clove Dental, helps ensure you get the most cost-effective treatment.

How do I know if my treatment is covered by Delta Dental Premier?

You can verify coverage for your specific treatment by calling our office or checking the Delta Dental member portal. For major procedures, we can submit a pre-treatment estimate to give you a clear idea of your benefits.

What if my treatment exceeds my annual benefit maximum?

If your treatment exceeds your plan’s annual maximum, you’ll be responsible for the additional costs. Our team can work with you to find a treatment plan that fits within your budget and helps you make the most of your coverage.

Are cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening covered?

Cosmetic procedures are generally not covered by Delta Dental Premier. However, if a cosmetic procedure has functional benefits (e.g., a crown to restore a broken tooth), it may be partially covered under major care.

Delta Dental Premier PPO plans may cover orthodontics, including braces and clear aligners. However, coverage is usually partial, and there may be a lifetime maximum limit on benefits. Check with our office for details regarding your specific plan.

How do I know what I will owe for my dental treatment?

We make sure you understand your financial responsibility before treatment begins. Our team will provide you with a detailed breakdown of what is covered by your Delta Dental Premier plan and what you will owe out of pocket, whether it’s a co-payment or coinsurance.

Does Delta Dental Premier cover dental implants?

Dental implants are typically covered under major care at a rate of 50%. However, since implants are often a high-cost procedure, it’s essential to verify coverage and be aware of any limits or exclusions related to this treatment.
