State of Iowa Delta Dental Plan – Students
HOW AN INDIVIDUAL USES THE DENTAL INSURANCE PLAN
Dental care under this plan can be obtained from any provider; however, there are advantages to using participating providers who have contracts with Delta Dental of Iowa, the dental insurance plan administrator. 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. Payment is made directly to these providers.
Nonparticipating providers have not agreed to accept Delta Dental’s payment arrangements. This means you are responsible for any difference between your dentist’s covered charges and the Delta allowance. These dentists are not responsible for filing your claims. Claims are settled directly with you and you are then responsible for making payment to your provider.
