How the plans work

You have a choice between a PPO or HMO plan. The Delta Dental PPO plan, available worldwide, allows you and your family to choose any licensed dentist or specialist. You’ll pay less if you choose a dentist in Delta’s PPO network.

DeltaCare® USA is a dental HMO that provides you and your family with comprehensive benefits and easy referrals to specialists within Delta’s HMO network. You must live in California to enroll and some areas of California have more network providers than others. Be sure there are dentists available in your area before choosing this plan.
