Click here for Delta Dental PPO Option
Under this option, you can receive services from a PPO Dentist or the dentist of your choice. PPO Dentists will file claims on your behalf and have agreed to charge no more than the predetermined PPO fee schedule. You may be required to pay up-front costs and file a claim form if you use a non-Delta Dental dentist.

How It Works
The Delta Dental PPO Option Plan allows each person covered under the plan to have the freedom to visit any dentist. There may be a savings advantage to receiving care from a PPO Dentist because your out-of-pocket costs tend to be lower than visiting a non-Delta Dental dentist.
When you visit a PPO Dentist, payment is based on the PPO fee schedule. The PPO Dentist has agreed to accept this fee as the approved amount. Although you are responsible for deductibles, coinsurances and any expenses above the maximum, a PPO Dentist cannot bill you for any covered charges above the approved amount.
In addition to PPO Dentists, Delta Dental has Participating Delta Dental Premier Dentists. PPO dental providers provide the most savings. Although you are responsible for deductibles, coinsurances and any expenses above the maximum, Premier dentists have an agreement with Delta Dental not to charge you more than the approved amount. In Florida, the Delta Dental PPO is underwritten and administered by Delta Dental Insurance Company.
