Benefits Summary

Network

Delta Dental of Massachusetts

Description

Our most comprehensive plan. With 96% of Massachusetts dentists participating in the Delta Dental Premier network, it’s the largest network of dentists available. Thanks to Delta Dental’s nationwide presence and negotiating strength, this super-flexible plan provides access to a Delta Dental dentist almost anywhere in the country — with up to 10% claims savings over traditional dental plans.

Coverage for diagnostic and preventive care, including routine checkups, restorative care, and oral surgery.
No claims forms to fill out when services are provided by a participating dentist.
No balance billing by participating dentists.
Coverage for services performed by non-participating dentists at a lower benefit level.

Coverage (In Network & Out of Network)

This plan has out of network coverage. Delta Dental will pay the same percentage of the allowable charges for covered services received in and out of network. If you choose to see a non-contracting dentist, you will be responsible for the difference between the plan’s allowable charges (what contracting dentists receive for payment from Delta Dental) and the dentist’s usual and customary fees (what the dentist charges cash-paying patients).Delta Dental will pay the same percentage of the allowable charges for covered services received in and out of network.
