Dental

Great dental coverage will keep you smiling! Choose from two options through Delta Dental of Tennessee for healthy teeth and gums. Both offer a maximum carryover feature to carry unused benefits forward.

Dental Plan 1:

$1,500 annual benefit maximum with up to $250 carryover feature.

Dental Plan 2:

$2,000 annual benefit maximum with up to $350 carryover feature + $2,000 child orthodontia lifetime maximum benefit.

How the Dental Plan Works

The Dental Plan provides a full range of coverage for all your and your family’s dental needs.

  • You have access to both the Delta Dental PPO Network and the Delta Dental Premier Network. You’ll get more out of your plan when you select a Delta Dental PPO Network provider, found nationwide.
  • You may see any dentist.
  • When you use a Delta Dental network dentist, they file your claims automatically and you will not be responsible for anything billed over Usual & Customary.
  • Non-network dentists may also bill you for charges exceeding the plan’s maximum allowable charges.

Maximum Carryover Feature: Carry Unused Benefits Forward

Dental Plan 1:

If at least one covered service is applied toward your maximum payment in a benefit year (your benefit maximum), and the total benefit paid does not exceed $500 in that benefit year, up to $250 will carry over to the next benefit year’s maximum payment. This carryover amount will accumulate from one benefit year to the next but will not exceed $1,000. If no covered services are paid during a benefit year, all accumulated carryover amounts from previous benefit years will be forfeited.

Dental Plan 2:

If at least one covered service is applied toward your maximum payment in a benefit year (your benefit maximum), and the total benefit paid does not exceed $625 in that benefit year, up to $350 will carry over to the next benefit year’s maximum payment. This carryover amount will accumulate from one benefit year to the next but will not exceed $1,250. If no covered services are paid during a benefit year, all accumulated carryover amounts from previous benefit years will be forfeited.
