Delta is a fee-for-service dental benefit program that allows you to choose any licensed dentist for your care. If you choose a dentist who has signed a contract with Delta Preferred or Delta Premier, you will pay only your deductible (waived for preventive care and orthodontia) and coinsurance for covered services. If you choose a non-participating dentist, you will still be covered. However, you will be responsible for any difference between Delta Premier's and Delta Preferred's approved free-for-service and the non-participating dentist's fee, in addition to your coinsurance, if any.
DeltaPremier USA covered services are based on various classes of service outlined in the Dental Certificate.

During the Open Enrollment period, you will be able to change only your coverage from individual to family or vice versa.
