How Does the Delta Dental PPO Point-of-Service Work?
The Delta Dental PPO Point-of-Service plan offers two provider networks: Delta Dental PPO and Delta Dental Premier. Your out-of-pocket costs are likely to be lower if you go to a Delta Dental PPO participating dentist. PPO dentists have agreed to accept payment according to a schedule established by Delta Dental, and, in most cases, this results in a reduction of their fees. Delta Dental also pays a higher percentage for most covered services if you go to a PPO dentist. If your dentist is not a PPO dentist, you will have back-up coverage through Delta Dental Premier. Again, your out of-pocket expenses will vary depending on the participating status of the dentist. Your coverage levels will be slightly lower in most cases, but you can still save money.
