How an Individual Uses Dental Services

Dental care is provided through Delta Dental of Iowa. Dental care may be obtained from almost any provider you wish. However, there are advantages to using participating providers who have contracts with Delta Dental of Iowa. A list of plan providers may be accessed via the web at: http://www.deltadentalia.com

Participating providers will accept payment arrangements and file claims for you with Delta Dental of Iowa. Payment is made directly to these providers.

Non-participating providers do not have contracts with Delta Dental of Iowa. They do not agree to accept payment arrangements and are not responsible for filing claims for you. Non-participating providers may charge more for dental care than participating providers. Payment is made to you and you are responsible for paying the provider.
