Dental Benefit Summary:
Under the DeltaPremier program, you may choose any licensed dentist. However,
it is to your advantage to select a participating dentist. Here's why:
-
Participating dentists will complete claim forms for you at no charge. If you
visit a non-participating dentist, you may be required to complete the forms
yourself.
-
If you go to a participating dentist, payment will be based on the lowest of
(1) DDPV participating dentists' usual, customary, and reasonable fees, (2) the
fee the dentist bills for the covered service, or (3) the participating
dentist's most recent filed fee with DDPV. You will only have to pay the amount
of your copayment, plus any deductibles that may apply.
-
Since participating dentists are reimbursed directly, they agree to charge you
no more than the amount of your copayment and deductible in advance, so you
don't have to pay the whole bill and then wait for reimbursement.
-
If you go to a non-participating dentist, payment is made directly to you
unless an assignment of benefits is made to the dentist. DDPV's payment is
based on the lower of (1) the usual, customary, and reasonable fee amount that
is less than DDPV would pay a participating dentist, or (2) the fee the dentist
bills for the covered service. You will be responsible for paying the
difference between the non-participating dentist's charge and DDPV's payment.
You may also have to pay the non-participating dentist in advance for the
entire bill.
The following table outlines your Dental Benefits. All Out-of-Network benefits
are based on Reasonable and Customary.
