Delta Preferred Option Dental Program Deductibles and Annual Maximum apply from January 1st – December 31st

The Board of Education pays $23.58 for each employee participating in the dental insurance program.

MONTHLY PREMIUMSEmployee Only $ 6.00 Employee & One Dependent $23.00 Employee & Family $51.00

A BOUT D ELTA P REFERRED O PTION The DeltaPreferred Option (DPO) program allows you to:

♦ Save on out-of-pocket expense when you visit a network dental office ♦ Visit any dentist of your choice — select a different dentist for each member of your family ♦ Change dentists at any time ♦ Go to a dental specialist of your choice ♦ Receive dental care anywhere in the world

____________________________________________________________________________________________ Under the DPO program, you may visit any licensed dentist you wish. However, the greatest cost savings are achieved by visiting a DPO dentist.

DELTA

PREFERRED DENTIST (DPO) NON-DPO

DENTISTS* Your out-of-pocket expense will probably be less because DPO dentists have agreed to charge DPO patients reduced fees.

You may be responsible for the dentist’s fees, which could be higher than those approved by Delta.

Claim forms will be completed and submitted for you at no charge. You may have to complete and submit your own claim forms or pay a service fee.

You may be charged only the patient share** at the time of treatment, not Delta’s portion.

You may have to pay the entire amount in advance and wait for reimbursement.

*If you do not choose to visit a DPO dentist, you may benefit by choosing a DeltaPremier dentist over a non-Delta dentist, since DeltaPremier dentists agree not to balance bill. ** “Patient share” is the copayment, any deductible and any amount over the annual maximum. Some services may not be covered; please refer to your Evidence of Coverage. Some examples of services not covered are cosmetic dentistry, experimental procedure and services to correct congenital malformations.

D ELTA P REFERRED O PTION I S E ASY T O U SE

DeltaPreferred Option is Delta’s preferred provider program. The program provides the maximum benefit when you visit a DPO dentist.

care. Sample Claim Payment DPO Dentist Non-Delta Dentist* Dentist Submitted Amount $120.00 $120.00 Delta Approved Amount $75.00 $120.00 Delta Allowed Amount $75.00 $90.00 Delta Payment (80%) $60.00 $72.00 Patient Payment** $15.00 $48.00
