Excellent benefits, low out-of-pocket costs. In-network dentists have agreed to pre-established fees for services. On average, patients save 43% on the fee typically submitted for a claim. Delta Dental PPO dentists’ rates are usually the best value, often better than other network rates. |
No more billing surprises. Delta Dental PPO network dentists won’t “balance bill” patients. That means they can’t charge you the difference between their usual fee and the amount they’ve agreed to charge patients covered by Delta Dental. |
