Delta Dental double whammy

mishman · 03-28-2017, 10:10 AM

I have been a Delta Dental customer for years and years but their latest actions to raise our rates (we buy from them as individuals now) and reduce reimbursement to our dentist is just too much to take. Their actions have caused controversy in MA and now NH. I was faced with a 30% premium increase and far more out of pocket payments for preventative care (semi annual cleanings, X-rays and exam).

I started to explore options with the help of an insurance broker who was a tremendous help to me with supplemental Medicare and Part D (Health Plan One Kevin Woosley │ Sales Supervisor
p. 877-581-5373 ext. 632 │ f. 855-844-5679
kwoosley@healthplanone.com). He suggested that I look at Spirit Dental. Their premiums were half that of Delta Dental and reimbursements covered all my preventative (three cleanings a year fully paid for vs two partially paid for by Delta). It was as near a no brainer as there is.

Just wanted others to know that are getting squeezed by Delta Dental that there is an alternative out there. And I can vouch for Kevin Woosley as someone very knowledgeable about Medicare Supp and Part D plans for rural NH (as well as across the country).
