Page 2: HL DCU CT13B V20 W EN 02.03.20 LTR · 8. My dentist says she is a Delta Dental dentist, but she isn’t listed in the DeltaCare USA directory. Can I still visit her for services?

Getting started1. How do I enroll in a DeltaCare USA plan?

Simply complete the enrollment process as directed by your benefits administrator. Be sure to select a primary care network dentist for yourself or your dependents, and indicate this dentist and the name of your group when you enroll.

2. How do I get started using my DeltaCare USA plan?Once we process your enrollment, we’ll mail you welcome materials that will include:

• The name, address and phone number of your selected primary care dentist. Simply call the dental facility to make an appointment. Important note: In order to receive benefits under your plan, you must visit your primary care network dentist for all services. If you require treatment from a specialist, your primary care dentist will coordinate a referral for you. You can change your primary care dentist by contacting us.

• Your Evidence/Certificate of Coverage (plan booklet). This useful document provides a thorough description of how to use your benefits, including covered services, copayments and any limitations and exclusions of your plan.

• An ID card. This card is for your records only — you do not need to present it in order to receive treatment.

3. How long will it take to get an appointment with my primary care dentist?Two to four weeks1 is a reasonable amount of time to wait for a routine, non-urgent appointment. If you require a specific time slot, you may need to wait longer. Most DeltaCare USA dentists are in private group practices, which generally offer greater appointment availability and extended office hours.

4. How much will my dental treatments cost? How do I pay?With your DeltaCare USA plan, some services are covered at no cost, while others have a copayment (amount you pay) for certain services. To find out how much a treatment will cost, refer to the “Description of Benefits and Copayments” in this brochure for a list of covered services and copayments. It’s a good idea to bring your Evidence/Certificate of Coverage to your appointment in case you need to discuss your copayment for a service with your dentist. If you have any questions about the charges for a service, please contact Customer Service. If you receive treatment that requires a copayment, simply pay the dental facility at the time of service.

Choosing a dentist5. How do I select my primary care dentist?

When you enroll, you must select a primary care dentist from the DeltaCare USA network. To search for a dentist, use the “Find a Dentist” tool at deltadentalins.com and select the DeltaCare USA network. If you do not select a dentist when you enroll, we will choose one for you.

6. Does everyone in my family have to choose the same primary care dentist?No. Each family member can select his or her own primary care network dentist.2

7. Can I change my primary care dentist?Yes. You can request to change your primary care dentist at any time. Simply visit our website and log on to your online account or contact Customer Service. Change requests received by the 21st of the month will become effective the first day of the following month.

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat you need to know about your DeltaCare USA plan

1 In TX, three weeks is a reasonable amount of time to wait for a routine, non-urgent appointment. In TX, there is no limit on the number of miles or on the dollar amount per emergency.

2 In MA, you cannot select more than three primary care dentist facilities per family.

Page 3: HL DCU CT13B V20 W EN 02.03.20 LTR · 8. My dentist says she is a Delta Dental dentist, but she isn’t listed in the DeltaCare USA directory. Can I still visit her for services?

8. My dentist says she is a Delta Dental dentist, but she isn’t listed in the DeltaCare USA directory. Can I still visit her for services?No. Delta Dental has many networks, and participation may vary — not all Delta Dental dentists are DeltaCare USA dentists. You must visit your selected primary care network dentist to receive benefits under this plan.

9. What should I do if I need to see a specialist?If you require specialty dental care — such as oral surgery, endodontics, periodontics or pediatric dentistry — contact your primary care dentist to request a referral. Specialty dental services not performed by your selected primary care dentist must be authorized by us. You are responsible for any applicable copayments.

General plan information10. If I’m traveling, is emergency treatment

covered under my plan?You and your eligible dependents have out-of-area coverage for dental emergencies when you are more than 35 miles from your primary care dentist. Your out-of-area emergency benefit (typically limited to $100 per person) is for services to relieve pain until you can return to your primary care network dentist.3 Standard plan limitations, exclusions and copayments may apply.

11. Can I access my plan online?Yes. Visit deltadentalins.com to create a free, secure online account. You can access your plan benefits and ID card, select (or change) your primary care dentist and more.

12. Does my plan cover pre-existing conditions? What about treatments that are in progress?Treatment for pre-existing conditions (except work in progress4), including missing or extracted teeth, is covered under your plan. Treatment in progress includes services such as preparations for crowns or root canals, or impressions for dentures. If you started treatment before your plan’s effective date, you and your prior dental carrier are responsible for any costs. Some DeltaCare USA plans may cover in-progress orthodontic treatment.

13. Does my plan cover teeth whitening?Yes. External bleaching is a benefit under your DeltaCare USA plan. Review your plan booklet for more information and talk to your dentist about your options.

14. Does my plan cover tooth-colored fillings and crowns?Yes. Porcelain and other tooth-colored materials are included in this plan.

15. What if I have additional questions about my plan?Please contact us for additional support. Our Customer Service representatives can answer benefits questions as well as help you change your primary care dentist or arrange for urgent care referrals. See the back page of this brochure for our contact information.

What should I do if I need to see a specialist?If you require specialty dental care — such as oral surgery, endodontics, periodontics or pediatric dentistry — contact your primary care dentist to request a referral. Specialty dental services not performed by your selected primary care dentist must be authorized by us. You are responsible for any applicable copayments.

12. Does my plan cover pre-existing conditions? What about treatments that are in progress?Treatment for pre-existing conditions (except work in progress4), including missing or extracted teeth, is covered under your plan. Treatment in progress includes services such as preparations for crowns or root canals, or impressions for dentures. If you started treatment before your plan’s effective date, you and your prior dental carrier are responsible for any costs. Some DeltaCare USA plans may cover in-progress orthodontic treatment.

Getting started1. How do I enroll in a DeltaCare USA plan?

Simply complete the enrollment process as directed by your benefits administrator. Be sure to select a primary care network dentist for yourself or your dependents, and indicate this dentist and the name of your group when you enroll.

2. How do I get started using my DeltaCare USA plan?Once we process your enrollment, we’ll mail you welcome materials that will include:

• The name, address and phone number of your selected primary care dentist. Simply call the dental facility to make an appointment. Important note: In order to receive benefits under your plan, you must visit your primary care network dentist for all services. If you require treatment from a specialist, your primary care dentist will coordinate a referral for you. You can change your primary care dentist by contacting us.

• Your Evidence/Certificate of Coverage (plan booklet). This useful document provides a thorough description of how to use your benefits, including covered services, copayments and any limitations and exclusions of your plan.

• An ID card. This card is for your records only — you do not need to present it in order to receive treatment.

3. How long will it take to get an appointment with my primary care dentist?Two to four weeks1 is a reasonable amount of time to wait for a routine, non-urgent appointment. If you require a specific time slot, you may need to wait longer. Most DeltaCare USA dentists are in private group practices, which generally offer greater appointment availability and extended office hours.

4. How much will my dental treatments cost? How do I pay?With your DeltaCare USA plan, some services are covered at no cost, while others have a copayment (amount you pay) for certain services. To find out how much a treatment will cost, refer to the “Description of Benefits and Copayments” in this brochure for a list of covered services and copayments. It’s a good idea to bring your Evidence/Certificate of Coverage to your appointment in case you need to discuss your copayment for a service with your dentist. If you have any questions about the charges for a service, please contact Customer Service. If you receive treatment that requires a copayment, simply pay the dental facility at the time of service.

Choosing a dentist5. How do I select my primary care dentist?

When you enroll, you must select a primary care dentist from the DeltaCare USA network. To search for a dentist, use the “Find a Dentist” tool at deltadentalins.com and select the DeltaCare USA network. If you do not select a dentist when you enroll, we will choose one for you.

6. Does everyone in my family have to choose the same primary care dentist?No. Each family member can select his or her own primary care network dentist.2

7. Can I change my primary care dentist?Yes. You can request to change your primary care dentist at any time. Simply visit our website and log on to your online account or contact Customer Service. Change requests received by the 21st of the month will become effective the first day of the following month.

Getting started1. How do I enroll in a DeltaCare USA plan?

Simply complete the enrollment process as directed by your benefits administrator. Be sure to select a primary care network dentist for yourself or your dependents, and indicate this dentist and the name of your group when you enroll.

2. How do I get started using my DeltaCare USA plan?Once we process your enrollment, we’ll mail you welcome materials that will include:

• The name, address and phone number of your selected primary care dentist. Simply call the dental facility to make an appointment. Important note: In order to receive benefits under your plan, you must visit your primary care network dentist for all services. If you require treatment from a specialist, your primary care dentist will coordinate a referral for you. You can change your primary care dentist by contacting us.

• Your Evidence/Certificate of Coverage (plan booklet). This useful document provides a thorough description of how to use your benefits, including covered services, copayments and any limitations and exclusions of your plan.

• An ID card. This card is for your records only — you do not need to present it in order to receive treatment.

3. How long will it take to get an appointment with my primary care dentist?Two to four weeks1 is a reasonable amount of time to wait for a routine, non-urgent appointment. If you require a specific time slot, you may need to wait longer. Most DeltaCare USA dentists are in private group practices, which generally offer greater appointment availability and extended office hours.

4. How much will my dental treatments cost? How do I pay?With your DeltaCare USA plan, some services are covered at no cost, while others have a copayment (amount you pay) for certain services. To find out how much a treatment will cost, refer to the “Description of Benefits and Copayments” in this brochure for a list of covered services and copayments. It’s a good idea to bring your Evidence/Certificate of Coverage to your appointment in case you need to discuss your copayment for a service with your dentist. If you have any questions about the charges for a service, please contact Customer Service. If you receive treatment that requires a copayment, simply pay the dental facility at the time of service.

Choosing a dentist5. How do I select my primary care dentist?

When you enroll, you must select a primary care dentist from the DeltaCare USA network. To search for a dentist, use the “Find a Dentist” tool at deltadentalins.com and select the DeltaCare USA network. If you do not select a dentist when you enroll, we will choose one for you.

6. Does everyone in my family have to choose the same primary care dentist?No. Each family member can select his or her own primary care network dentist.2

7. Can I change my primary care dentist?Yes. You can request to change your primary care dentist at any time. Simply visit our website and log on to your online account or contact Customer Service. Change requests received by the 21st of the month will become effective the first day of the following month.

Keep Smiling DeltaCare® USA

Getting started1. How do I enroll in a DeltaCare USA plan?

Simply complete the enrollment process as directed by your benefits administrator. Be sure to select a primary care network dentist for yourself or your dependents, and indicate this dentist and the name of your group when you enroll.

2. How do I get started using my DeltaCare USA plan?Once we process your enrollment, we’ll mail you welcome materials that will include:

• The name, address and phone number of your selected primary care dentist. Simply call the dental facility to make an appointment. Important note: In order to receive benefits under your plan, you must visit your primary care network dentist for all services. If you require treatment from a specialist, your primary care dentist will coordinate a referral for you. You can change your primary care dentist by contacting us.

• Your Evidence/Certificate of Coverage (plan booklet). This useful document provides a thorough description of how to use your benefits, including covered services, copayments and any limitations and exclusions of your plan.

• An ID card. This card is for your records only — you do not need to present it in order to receive treatment.

3. How long will it take to get an appointment with my primary care dentist?Two to four weeks1 is a reasonable amount of time to wait for a routine, non-urgent appointment. If you require a specific time slot, you may need to wait longer. Most DeltaCare USA dentists are in private group practices, which generally offer greater appointment availability and extended office hours.

4. How much will my dental treatments cost? How do I pay?With your DeltaCare USA plan, some services are covered at no cost, while others have a copayment (amount you pay) for certain services. To find out how much a treatment will cost, refer to the “Description of Benefits and Copayments” in this brochure for a list of covered services and copayments. It’s a good idea to bring your Evidence/Certificate of Coverage to your appointment in case you need to discuss your copayment for a service with your dentist. If you have any questions about the charges for a service, please contact Customer Service. If you receive treatment that requires a copayment, simply pay the dental facility at the time of service.

Choosing a dentist5. How do I select my primary care dentist?

When you enroll, you must select a primary care dentist from the DeltaCare USA network. To search for a dentist, use the “Find a Dentist” tool at deltadentalins.com and select the DeltaCare USA network. If you do not select a dentist when you enroll, we will choose one for you.

6. Does everyone in my family have to choose the same primary care dentist?No. Each family member can select his or her own primary care network dentist.2

7. Can I change my primary care dentist?Yes. You can request to change your primary care dentist at any time. Simply visit our website and log on to your online account or contact Customer Service. Change requests received by the 21st of the month will become effective the first day of the following month.

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat you need to know about your DeltaCare USA plan

1 In TX, three weeks is a reasonable amount of time to wait for a routine, non-urgent appointment. In TX, there is no limit on the number of miles or on the dollar amount per emergency.

2 In MA, you cannot select more than three primary care dentist facilities per family.

8. My dentist says she is a Delta Dental dentist, but she isn’t listed in the DeltaCare USA directory. Can I still visit her for services?No. Delta Dental has many networks, and participation may vary — not all Delta Dental dentists are DeltaCare USA dentists. You must visit your selected primary care network dentist to receive benefits under this plan.

9. What should I do if I need to see a specialist?If you require specialty dental care — such as oral surgery, endodontics, periodontics or pediatric dentistry — contact your primary care dentist to request a referral. Specialty dental services not performed by your selected primary care dentist must be authorized by us. You are responsible for any applicable copayments.

General plan information10. If I’m traveling, is emergency treatment

covered under my plan?You and your eligible dependents have out-of-area coverage for dental emergencies when you are more than 35 miles from your primary care dentist. Your out-of-area emergency benefit (typically limited to $100 per person) is for services to relieve pain until you can return to your primary care network dentist.3 Standard plan limitations, exclusions and copayments may apply.

11. Can I access my plan online?Yes. Visit deltadentalins.com to create a free, secure online account. You can access your plan benefits and ID card, select (or change) your primary care dentist and more.

12. Does my plan cover pre-existing conditions? What about treatments that are in progress?Treatment for pre-existing conditions (except work in progress4), including missing or extracted teeth, is covered under your plan. Treatment in progress includes services such as preparations for crowns or root canals, or impressions for dentures. If you started treatment before your plan’s effective date, you and your prior dental carrier are responsible for any costs. Some DeltaCare USA plans may cover in-progress orthodontic treatment.

13. Does my plan cover teeth whitening?Yes. External bleaching is a benefit under your DeltaCare USA plan. Review your plan booklet for more information and talk to your dentist about your options.

14. Does my plan cover tooth-colored fillings and crowns?Yes. Porcelain and other tooth-colored materials are included in this plan.

15. What if I have additional questions about my plan?Please contact us for additional support. Our Customer Service representatives can answer benefits questions as well as help you change your primary care dentist or arrange for urgent care referrals. See the back page of this brochure for our contact information.

Getting started1. How do I enroll in a DeltaCare USA plan?

Simply complete the enrollment process as directed by your benefits administrator. Be sure to select a primary care network dentist for yourself or your dependents, and indicate this dentist and the name of your group when you enroll.

2. How do I get started using my DeltaCare USA plan?Once we process your enrollment, we’ll mail you welcome materials that will include:

• The name, address and phone number of your selected primary care dentist. Simply call the dental facility to make an appointment. Important note: In order to receive benefits under your plan, you must visit your primary care network dentist for all services. If you require treatment from a specialist, your primary care dentist will coordinate a referral for you. You can change your primary care dentist by contacting us.

• Your Evidence/Certificate of Coverage (plan booklet). This useful document provides a thorough description of how to use your benefits, including covered services, copayments and any limitations and exclusions of your plan.

• An ID card. This card is for your records only — you do not need to present it in order to receive treatment.

3. How long will it take to get an appointment with my primary care dentist?Two to four weeks1 is a reasonable amount of time to wait for a routine, non-urgent appointment. If you require a specific time slot, you may need to wait longer. Most DeltaCare USA dentists are in private group practices, which generally offer greater appointment availability and extended office hours.

4. How much will my dental treatments cost? How do I pay?With your DeltaCare USA plan, some services are covered at no cost, while others have a copayment (amount you pay) for certain services. To find out how much a treatment will cost, refer to the “Description of Benefits and Copayments” in this brochure for a list of covered services and copayments. It’s a good idea to bring your Evidence/Certificate of Coverage to your appointment in case you need to discuss your copayment for a service with your dentist. If you have any questions about the charges for a service, please contact Customer Service. If you receive treatment that requires a copayment, simply pay the dental facility at the time of service.

Choosing a dentist5. How do I select my primary care dentist?

When you enroll, you must select a primary care dentist from the DeltaCare USA network. To search for a dentist, use the “Find a Dentist” tool at deltadentalins.com and select the DeltaCare USA network. If you do not select a dentist when you enroll, we will choose one for you.

6. Does everyone in my family have to choose the same primary care dentist?No. Each family member can select his or her own primary care network dentist.2

7. Can I change my primary care dentist?Yes. You can request to change your primary care dentist at any time. Simply visit our website and log on to your online account or contact Customer Service. Change requests received by the 21st of the month will become effective the first day of the following month.

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat you need to know about your DeltaCare USA plan

1 In TX, three weeks is a reasonable amount of time to wait for a routine, non-urgent appointment. In TX, there is no limit on the number of miles or on the dollar amount per emergency.

2 In MA, you cannot select more than three primary care dentist facilities per family.

8. My dentist says she is a Delta Dental dentist, but she isn’t listed in the DeltaCare USA directory. Can I still visit her for services?No. Delta Dental has many networks, and participation may vary — not all Delta Dental dentists are DeltaCare USA dentists. You must visit your selected primary care network dentist to receive benefits under this plan.

9. What should I do if I need to see a specialist?If you require specialty dental care — such as oral surgery, endodontics, periodontics or pediatric dentistry — contact your primary care dentist to request a referral. Specialty dental services not performed by your selected primary care dentist must be authorized by us. You are responsible for any applicable copayments.

General plan information10. If I’m traveling, is emergency treatment

covered under my plan?You and your eligible dependents have out-of-area coverage for dental emergencies when you are more than 35 miles from your primary care dentist. Your out-of-area emergency benefit (typically limited to $100 per person) is for services to relieve pain until you can return to your primary care network dentist.3 Standard plan limitations, exclusions and copayments may apply.

11. Can I access my plan online?Yes. Visit deltadentalins.com to create a free, secure online account. You can access your plan benefits and ID card, select (or change) your primary care dentist and more.

12. Does my plan cover pre-existing conditions? What about treatments that are in progress?Treatment for pre-existing conditions (except work in progress4), including missing or extracted teeth, is covered under your plan. Treatment in progress includes services such as preparations for crowns or root canals, or impressions for dentures. If you started treatment before your plan’s effective date, you and your prior dental carrier are responsible for any costs. Some DeltaCare USA plans may cover in-progress orthodontic treatment.

13. Does my plan cover teeth whitening?Yes. External bleaching is a benefit under your DeltaCare USA plan. Review your plan booklet for more information and talk to your dentist about your options.

14. Does my plan cover tooth-colored fillings and crowns?Yes. Porcelain and other tooth-colored materials are included in this plan.

15. What if I have additional questions about my plan?Please contact us for additional support. Our Customer Service representatives can answer benefits questions as well as help you change your primary care dentist or arrange for urgent care referrals. See the back page of this brochure for our contact information.
