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-Network Providers level.

1 For services from non-network Providers, the Plan pays this percentage of approved amounts. If your Provider charges more than the approved amount, you will have to pay the difference.

2 The copayments listed are for standard dentures. Partial dentures or special constructions may require a different amount.

3 The lifetime maximum for network orthodontic benefits increases each year; this is the current lifetime maximum. Contact Delta Dental of Illinois for any increases to this maximum.

4 The calendar year maximum for non-orthodontic benefits applies to children age 18 or older, spouses, and members. Dependent children under age 18 do not have a calendar year maximum for non-orthodontic benefits.
