As a subscriber with The Local Choice your dental benefits are administered by Delta Dental of Virginia. With Delta Dental you have your choice of over 4,800 dental locations throughout Virginia and over 191,800 dental offices across the country. All dentists who have agreed to participate in the Delta Dental Network will file your claims for you, will accept Delta Dental’s allowances for services (in addition to any required co-insurance and deductible), and will abide by Delta Dental’s guidelines for dental treatment.Receiving Care From Dentists Outside the Delta Dental Network
Should you decide to receive dental care from a dentist who is not a member of the Delta Dental Network, you will still receive benefits from your dental plan, but your share of the cost will likely be higher than if you received care from a network dentist. In addition, you may have to file any claims yourself.
Delta Dental Network Dentist
- Network dentists will have claim forms in the office and will complete and submit to Delta Dental at no charge.
- Payment will be made directly to the dentist for covered benefits.
- The dentist will accept Delta Dental's allowance for covered benefits. This means that you pay only the applicable co-insurance and deductible for these covered services
Non-Participating Dentist
- You may be required to pay the non-participating dentist in advance for the entire bill, complete claim forms and submit to Delta Dental.
- Payment will be made directly to you unless your dentist agrees to accept payment from Delta Dental.
- Non-participating dentists have not agreed to accept Delta Dental's allowance for their services. This means that, in addition to what Delta Dental pays, you must pay the applicable co-insurance and deductible and the difference between the non-participating dentist's charges and Delta Dental's payment for covered benefits.
