Network Providers

Dental Care - Dental Benefits are provided through Delta Dental of Illinois, a dental Preferred Provider Organization. Your level of coverage will depend on whether or not your Dentist or orthodontist is a Delta Dental network Provider. Delta Dental has two PPO networks, Delta Dental PPO and Delta Dental Premier. To receive the most benefits and the highest level of discounts, your Provider must participate in the Delta Dental PPO network. While you will receive a discount if you go to a Delta Dental Premier dentist, your benefits will be paid at the NON-Delta Dental PPO level. You should contact Delta Dental at 800-323-1743 (toll-free in Illinois) or 800-331-0538 (toll-free outside Illinois) before seeking dental care.
