Selecting Your Dentist<br />
The following are tips to help you select a dentist:<br />
· Can the dentist coordinate all of the dental services you and your family members may<br />
need<br />
· Is the dentist accepting new patients<br />
· What are the office hours Are there evening or weekend appointments<br />
· What are the procedures for urgent or emergency care after hours<br />
· How long will you have to wait to get an appointment for routine exams and cleanings <br />
Acute or same-day care<br />
After-Hours Care<br />
Call your dental office, even if it is after regular office hours. Your dental office may have an<br />
emergency number for assistance if an emergency occurs after hours. For routine and<br />
non-emergency care, it is best to call during regular business hours.<br />
Seeing a Specialist<br />
You do not need a referral to see a specialist. When special services not provided by your regular<br />
dentist are needed, your dentist will help you find a specialist to treat your condition. You may also<br />
select a specialist yourself. Remember that you will receive the most comprehensive benefits<br />
when you select a <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Dental</strong> Premier participating specialist.<br />
Quality Assurance<br />
Having a dentist you can trust is important in your overall health. All of the dentists listed in this<br />
directory meet network and credentialing standards, and have signed agreements with <strong>Delta</strong><br />
<strong>Dental</strong> of <strong>Minnesota</strong> to provide services, and submit claims for covered services directly to <strong>Delta</strong><br />
<strong>Dental</strong> of <strong>Minnesota</strong>. In addition, a participating dentist may not balance bill any amount over the<br />
allowed or approved amount on the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) issued to Participating dentists<br />
and the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Dental</strong> Subscriber. The subscriber’s only responsibility is for any co -payment,<br />
deductible or other non-covered service identified on the EOB. If, for any reason, you are not<br />
satisfied with the quality of care you received, please call Customer Service.<br />
I.D. Card<br />
Your <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Dental</strong> I.D. card provides important benefit membership information.<br />
with you at all times and present it each time you see your <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Dental</strong> dentist.<br />
Keep this card<br />
Your I.D. card does not guarantee eligibility for services. It is an information tool to be used by you<br />
and your dentist. Dentist verification and pre-estimate of benefits may still be necessary.
