Delta Dental – New Age Limit for Pediatric Dental Care Under DeltaCare@ USA

Posted by

Delta Dental’s recent expansion of the pediatric dental coverage age limit under DeltaCare® USA plans represents a significant opportunity for you and your employer groups. By extending pediatric dental coverage to children through the age of 13—up from the previous limit of 7—Delta Dental not only demonstrates its commitment to family health that goes beyond the industry standard but also gives you a stronger benefits package to offer employers. And it allows employers to provide comprehensive dental care for their employees’ children fostering a healthier workforce and attracting top talent.  

Why the Higher Age Limit Matters
Having dental care from a young age is crucial as kids’ baby and permanent teeth develop. Most children lose their last baby tooth around 12 years old. Allowing kids to see the same dentist through age 13 gives them consistent, comfortable care during this important time.

Posted by

Recognizing the direct correlation between financial well-being and health, Delta Dental has introduced the Healthcare Spending Card, a new approach to managing dental and healthcare expenses. This card offers employees a more accessible and convenient way to finance their healthcare needs with:

An excellent tool to make employee benefits more attractive, the Healthcare Spending Card is easy to use, and employers can add it to their benefits package at any time of the year with no contract, ongoing file sharing or integration (and no credit risk).

Despite the availability of dental insurance, financial barriers often deter individuals from seeking necessary dental care. The Healthcare Spending Card aims to remove these barriers, making it easier for people to get the dental care they need. By incorporating the Healthcare Spending Card into their offerings, your clients can play a pivotal role in promoting a healthier, financially secure workforce. Learn more.

Why Delta Dental Doesn’t Use Leased Dental Networks

Posted by

A reliable and extensive dentist network is essential for quality dental care and cost-effective access to in-network services. Delta Dental offers a distinct advantage in this regard, boasting the largest proprietary dentist network in the nation. As of September 2021, Delta Dental’s combined Dental Dental PPO™ and Delta Dental Premier® networks feature over 155,000 unique dentists.

Unlike many competitors, Delta Dental directly contracts with its dentists and does not rely on leased networks from other carriers. Delta advocates that direct contracting mitigates these disadvantages of leased networks:

Delta Dental – Expanded Coverage for Chronic Conditions

Posted by

Oral health is more important than you might think. The health of your mouth, teeth, and gums can have a significant impact on your general health. In fact, gum disease and tooth decay are associated with several systemic conditions. That’s why Delta Dental’s SmileWay® Wellness Benefits program provides additional teeth and gum cleanings throughout the year for enrollees with certain chronic medical conditions.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, chronic health conditions and unhealthy behaviors reduce worker productivity and cost US employers $36.4 billion a year because of employees missing days of work.

A healthier workforce can result in lower direct costs, such as insurance premiums and workers’ compensation claims, and lower indirect costs if workers miss less work due to illness. With SmileWay Wellness Benefits, members stay healthy and more productive.

SmileWay Wellness Benefits Program

Delta Dental PPO™ members and their dependents can take advantage of enhanced benefits and receive up to five cleanings per calendar or contract year if they’ve been diagnosed with one of the following chronic medical conditions:

When employees keep up with regular cleanings, they can reduce the symptoms and complications of their chronic conditions, and help prevent further health issues.

More Covered Cleanings Every Year
Once enrolled in SmileWay Wellness Benefits, Delta Dental PPO members with qualifying chronic conditions are eligible for extra routine and periodontal cleanings:

How to Enroll
For groups with this benefit, enrollees who have been diagnosed with any of the qualifying chronic conditions will need to opt in online or call Customer Service to access the expanded coverage.

Delta Dental’s SmileWay Wellness Benefits can be added to all mid-size and large group Delta Dental PPO plans. Download the SmileWay Wellness Benefits broker flyer and SmileWay Wellness Benefits member flyer to learn more.

Delta Dental – 2023 Dental Benefits Trends

Posted by

Delta Dental 2023 Trends

The impact of COVID-19, rapid technological advancements, inflation, a tightening labor market, and an aging population will affect employee benefits in 2023. Delta Dental anticipates these trends for you and your clients in 2023:

Budgeting and Health Benefits

A recently released KPMG CEO Outlook survey found that firms of all sizes are looking to cut costs in preparation for a possible recession. Eight out of ten CEOs anticipate a recession over the next year.

When it comes to cutting costs, small businesses don’t have to sacrifice benefits. Offering affordable dental benefits is still possible with Delta Dental’s small business dental plans – with three different price points to meet most budgets. Delta Dental PPO™ and DeltaCare® USA plans are available at each price point.

Telehealth Expansion

A wave of technological advances, including a huge increase in telemedicine and teledentistry, in part spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic, will continue to impact and transform dental care in 2023. These technological advances will continue to improve efficiencies, enhance patient care, and broaden accessibility. In fact, about 55% of large employers plan to increase access to virtual health services, according to a November report.

Delta Dental offers two convenient virtual dentistry options:

Attracting Talent with Benefits

In a labor market still recovering from COVID-19, attracting and maintaining a high-quality workforce is more important, and difficult, than ever. As the Great Resignation continues to influence the job market, employers who are looking to expand in 2023 may find job applicants tough to find.

According to a recent survey, almost half of employees said they are currently looking or planning to look for a new job in 2023, up five percent from 2022. And a Forbes survey found that in 2022, eight percent of employees left a job they liked to find better health benefits.

robust dental benefits package can play a key role in your clients’ success and set them apart from the competition. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 44% of civilian workers have access to dental benefits, so companies who do offer dental benefits have an extra advantage in attracting talent. What’s more, a recent survey showed that 33% say health benefits and services are the most important factor when choosing an employer.

Benefits are Essential

Health care benefits are a big part of an employer’s overall salary package. And having a strong and strategic benefits package is key to recruiting and retaining valuable employees. Plus, having healthy people on the job means a higher level of employee productivity. Make sure your groups have access to the most comprehensive and affordable dental benefits by offering them Delta Dental.

Delta Dental PPO and Premier – How The Dual Network Works

Posted by

Delta Dental PPO™ plan members have access to two Delta Dental networks – Delta Dental PPO and Delta Dental Premier®. Together, they make up the largest network of dentists in the nation, according to Zelis Network360®. In fact, four out of five dentists in the United States are Delta Dental network dentists. The main difference between the two networks is the amount members can save.

Delta Dental PPO and Delta Dental Premier

Member Savings

There are three options: PPO, Premier, and non-Delta Dental dentists. Members save the most when visiting a Delta Dental PPO dentist, a little less at a Premier dentist, and the least at a non-Delta Dental dentist.

Delta Dental PPO Network
With this large, high-quality and reliable network of dentists, members don’t need to carry paper ID cards or submit claims, since Delta Dental works directly with dentists to manage identification and claims.

By visiting a dentist in the PPO network, members pay less out-of-pocket and make their plan maximum go farther. PPO dentists have agreed to reduced fees, which means added savings and no unexpected out-of-pocket costs.

But members don’t have to sacrifice plan savings if their dentist isn’t in the PPO network.

Delta Dental Premier Network
By visiting a dentist in the Premier network, members can expect the same advantages of a high-quality network and easy access, but with more limited out-of-pocket savings.

Delta Dental Premier dentists have also agreed to discounted fees, as part of their contract with Delta Dental. Premier fees are typically higher than Delta Dental PPO fees. Like with PPO dentists, members won’t pay more than their expected share — so there are no surprise bills.

Non-Delta Dental dentists can set any price they wish.

Plan Configuration Can Encourage PPO Utilization

To encourage in-network visits long term, it’s best to build incentives into plan designs that encourage visiting in-network dentists. Groups may have the following options:

Reimbursements

The amount the plan bases its payment on is the reimbursement, also known as the maximum plan allowance. This is separate from the percentage at which certain services are covered.

Under a Delta Dental PPO plan, PPO dentists are reimbursed at PPO fees and Premier dentists are reimbursed at either Premier or PPO fees. How Premier dentists are reimbursed under a PPO plan is up to the plan’s benefits administrator, but there are advantages to each of the two options:

In-Network Dentists

With the Find a Dentist tool, members can check a dentist’s network by entering their own location and choosing their preferred network from the ‘Select a Network’ drop-down menu. Each dentist’s directory listing indicates which networks the dentist participates in.

With Delta Dental’s dual network, your clients and their employees can make informed choices about their care and costs, without sacrificing quality.
