Delta Dental PPO Plan Improvements
The increased cost to make these improvements is 100% covered by the District
Annual maximum benefit increase
The annual maximum benefit will increase from $2,000 to $6,000, providing significantly greater coverage before members become responsible for additional costs.
Immediate access to full benefits for preventive and basic care
With this enhancement, members will have access to the plan’s full benefits from their first year of coverage.
Higher reimbursement levels to dental providers for dental services
Delta Dental will now base covered procedure reimbursements on the typical costs charged in our local region, rather than a statewide average, reducing out-of-pocket expenses for members.
Increased District Contribution
Kaiser HMO, Blue Shield HMO Trio and PERS PPO Gold continue to be at $0 contribution for employee only and employee with dependents with any combination of dental and vision plans.
