Insider Update

D&P deductible waiver

Starting with an August 1 effective date, there will be no deductible required for diagnostic and preventive services on both the Basic and Premium plans for new and renewing members. That includes cleanings, exams and x‑rays. What’s even more important is that your clients will have access to the savings immediately when their plan starts and won’t have to pay out of pocket for these services.

“We’re taking down the barriers to getting diagnostic and preventive services that are so important,” said Brandy Petricka, individual channel manager for Delta Dental.

This change is not retroactive but will be available to new members who choose an effective date after August 1. These changes will apply to current members after their new plan year renews.
