Dental
Overview
We have dental coverage through Delta Dental of New York. With the Delta Dental of New York PPO plans, you can keep your teeth and gums healthy by getting a free preventive checkup two times each year. You also have the option of visiting a dentist virtually.
The Delta Dental network is made up of a national group of providers that have contracted to deliver their services at a reduced cost. Participating providers are screened and selected by Delta Dental and must meet pre-established certification standards.
Your group number is 04811. Our dental PPO plans are “passive”, meaning you can go to any dentist you’d like; however, you may pay more with out-of-network dentists. Using in-network dentists will lower your out-of-pocket costs; using out-of-network services gives you even more dentists to choose from but requires you to pay more. If you’d like to find an in-network dentist in your area, you can watch this demo or follow these steps:
