Delta Dental MA PPO and PPO Premier Coverage Availability & Fees
Our practice accepts two different Delta Dental insurance plans: Delta Dental MA PPO and Delta Dental PPO Premier. Here's a quick overview of how each works:
- Delta Dental MA PPO allows you to visit any licensed dentist, but your out-of-pocket costs will be lowest when you choose an in-network provider. As an in-network PPO provider, we have agreed to pre-negotiated rates, which means your insurance covers more and you pay less.
- Delta Dental PPO Premier also gives you the freedom to see any licensed dentist, with a broader network of participating providers. Seeing a Premier in-network dentist helps ensure you receive the maximum benefit your plan allows.
Under most Delta Dental MA PPO and PPO Premier plans, your insurance covers a set percentage of the cost of covered services after your deductible is met. While every plan is different, most follow a structure similar to this:
- 100% coverage on preventive services, such as cleanings, exams, and fluoride treatments.
- 80% coverage on basic restorative procedures, such as tooth-colored fillings.
- 50% coverage on major restorative services, such as restorations or extractions.
It's important to remember that most Delta Dental plans operate on an annual benefit period. Any unused benefits typically do not roll over to the following year, so we encourage families to schedule their child's appointments and take full advantage of their coverage before the benefit year ends!
The Benefits of Seeing an In-Network Dentist
Choosing an in-network dental provider is one of the most effective ways to reduce your family's out-of-pocket costs and get the most value from your Delta Dental plan. Because we’re in-network with Delta Dental MA PPO and PPO Premier, it means your insurance will cover a greater portion of your child's treatment costs compared to visiting an out-of-network provider.

We will verify your child's benefits before their appointment, file all claims on your behalf, and walk you through exactly what to expect in terms of costs, so there are never any surprises.

Just give our team a call if you have any questions.
