Aug 2, 2021, 2 Minute Read

Designed especially for small business owners, Delta Dental’s new easy-to-sell and easy-to-understand Small Business Program offers a wide variety of plans and options, all with comprehensive coverage, quality care, and savings. For a quick overview, check out this video.

Small Business Program

Three Plan Levels

• Deluxe: extensive benefits with the lowest out-of-pocket costs and more options for employees.
• Advantage: the most popular plan designs featuring increased choice and flexibility.
• Core: quality care at a lower cost.

All PPO plans include:

• Low- or no-cost preventive care and comprehensive coverage.
• Higher annual maximums up to $3,000.
• Expanded access to orthodontics.
• White resin fillings on all teeth.
• Implant coverage with no separate implant maximum.
• No missing tooth exclusions for teeth lost prior to this coverage.
• Expanded voluntary choice options.
• Expanded plan choices for groups of 2-4.
• Dual choice and Core/buy-up plans.
• SmileWay® Wellness Benefits for additional preventive care for employees with qualifying conditions.

A new lower-cost DeltaCare USA plan (17B) has also been added.

Plus, employers can manage costs by offering a new dual choice plan and Core buy-up option:

• Dual Choice 1: Build Your Own Plan: Choose any one PPO plan and any one DeltaCare USA plan.
• Dual Choice 2: Matching Premiums: Offer two same-priced plans with differing coverage, so employees can decide what works best for them: a PPO plan with higher coverage (100/100/60)  or a PPO Plus Premier plan (100/80/50) with greater dentist choice.
• Dual Choice 3: Differing Premiums: Offer both a high (PPO Plus Premier 100/90/60) and a low (PPO Plus Premier 100/80/50) PPO plan with different prices and coverage amounts, so employees can decide what works best for them: more coverage at a higher price or less coverage for a lower price.
• Core/Buy-up: Clients can control costs with a set contribution (Core 100/50/50), while giving employees the option to purchase more coverage (Buy-up 100/80/60).
