Delta Dental double whammy

upthesaukee · 03-28-2017, 03:05 PM

My wife is on a single person, vs group, plan. She has been in the medical and dental field for many years. She said or premiums only went up a couple of dollars per month.
Her dentist was a participant with Delta Dental. There is also a preferred provider participant. Her dentist just took in a new dentist who is a preferred provider, and what Delta pays now is more than what they did pay. That may be some of the difference.
As in all medical and dental decisions, due diligence is all important.

Currently full time employed with Delta, not their premium plan. I have lots of "work" head of me before I retire. Interesting info going forward, thanks !

I went years without dental but I knew I had an issue so I signed up. It looked like some things would need follow-up so I never let it lapse. The coverge when I finally got my wisdom teeth removed 4 or so years ago, made up for all the premiums to date.
