The County offers two (2) Dental Plans, one PPO plan and one D(ental)HMO plan. Participation in the dental/vision program is voluntary. You may elect to take medical coverage only (there is no option to enroll in dental/vision only).
Dental Plans
- Ameritas Dental (PPO) – You may select a dentist of your choice. The plan pays 80% of preventive and basic and 50% of major procedures’ authorized costs. If you use a preferred provider, the plan pays 100% of preventive and basic and 70% of major procedures’ costs once you meet the $50 deductible.
Refer to the “Ameritas PPO Dental Summary” or visit www.ameritas.com for additional information on preferred providers and benefits, including fees and deductibles.
- DeltaCare (DHMO) – Like a medical HMO, you are required to select a primary care dentist from the DeltaCare list of providers and receive all your general care from that dentist. There are no deductibles, and there is either a co-payment or no payment due depending on the dental procedures.
Refer to the “DeltaCare DHMO Dental Summary” for additional information on benefits and out-of-pocket costs. Visit www.deltadentalins.com and select ‘DeltaCare USA’ network to see the participating providers; we strongly recommend you contact the dentist’s office to ensure they are taking new patients.
Vision Plan (VSP)
If you elect to participate in the Dental Program, membership in the VSP Vision Plan is included at no extra cost.
You may use any provider who accepts the VSP Vision Plan, including many discount retailers. Refer to the attached “
VSP Vision Benefits Summary” or visit
www.vsp.com for additional information on benefits.
