Welcome to <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Dental</strong> <strong>PPO</strong><br />
Dentist Directory<br />
This directory is intended as a guide for selecting a <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Dental</strong> <strong>PPO</strong> dentist. Selecting a dentist<br />
listed in the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Dental</strong> <strong>PPO</strong> directory will ensure that you receive your maximum benefits. The<br />
dentists listed in this directory are current as of the printing date shown on the bottom of<br />
each page of the directory. This means that any changes to the dentist network after this date<br />
will not be reflected in this directory.<br />
Role of Your Dentist<br />
Your dentist's job is to coordinate the dental services you receive, from preventive dental care<br />
such as exams and cleanings to dental treatments such as repairing a broken tooth, removing<br />
decay from a tooth and restoring the tooth with a filling. An ongoing relationship with your dentist<br />
increases your chances of receiving the best care possible.<br />
Choosing a Dentist<br />
<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Dental</strong> of <strong>Minnesota</strong> wants you to play an active role in decisions about your dental care .<br />
While you do not need to pre-select a dentist, selecting a dentist from the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Dental</strong> <strong>PPO</strong><br />
directory will ensure that you receive the maximum benefits.<br />
In-Network: When you choose a dentist from this directory, your dental care is called<br />
“in-network” and you will receive important benefit advantages, including lower costs by receiving<br />
the maximum level of benefits available to you.<br />
Out-of-Network: If you receive dental care from a dentist not listed in this directory, your care is<br />
considered “out-of-network” and will not be covered.<br />
Remember to verify your dentist’s participation status at the time you make an appointment .<br />
Checking with your dentist or calling Customer Service to verify participation assures you that<br />
your dentist is still participating in the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Dental</strong> <strong>PPO</strong> network. If your dentist's status has changed<br />
and he or she is no longer part of the network, you may continue seeing your dentist, however,<br />
this will result in a higher out-of-pocket cost for you as out of network providers are not covered by<br />
this dental plan. Or you may choose another <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Dental</strong> <strong>PPO</strong> dentist and receive maximum<br />
benefits. Consult your Employee Benefits department or a benefit booklet for more information<br />
regarding your specific plan design.
