The term eligibility refers to who may be covered by a Delta Dental of Idaho Individual plan. Only permanent residents of Idaho including spouses and/or dependent children are eligible. Coverage can be purchased by singles, two-person households or families. Individual dental plans may be purchased regardless of existing group dental, group health or Medicare insurance plans.

The cost of Individual and Family plans are determined by the type of services covered and the age of the covered person. Preventive plans that cover basic cleanings and exams cost as little as $20 a month. Comprehensive plans that cover services such as root canals and crowns cost a little more, but generally have a higher annual maximum to help cover more comprehensive services.

To receive an accurate quote for an Individual and Family dental plan, you can visit our Plans page or call (1-855-703-3582) and one of our representatives will help you get started.

These plans provide a broad array of dental services, but like any policy, there are certain exclusions and limitations as well as amounts you will pay out of pocket. You can obtain information on the specific and general exclusions, limitations and other policy provisions by reviewing the product contract on the Plans page or by calling (1-855-703-3582) and speaking to a representative.

You must use a dentist in our Delta Dental Premier or Delta Dental PPO network. We have a large network of participating dentists in Idaho as well as nationwide, so there is a good chance that your dentist is in the network. To determine if your dentist is in network or if you need help finding a dentist, you can select Find a Dentist (choose Premier or PPO) or call (1-855-703-3582). We do not cover procedures by dentists who are not participating as a Delta Dental dentist.

The term Premier and PPO refers to the two types of networks we’ve established in the state of Idaho. A Delta Dental Premier or PPO participating dentist means these Idaho dentists have signed an agreement with Delta Dental of Idaho to participate in our network and have agreed to discounted fees for services. The Delta Dental Premier or PPO participating dentist accepts Delta Dental’s payment and the patient’s co-payment, if any, as payment in full. The PPO network generally provides the most savings to subscribers and is the recommended dentist network to choose when searching for a dentist.

A Delta Dental non-participating dentist is a dentist who has not signed an agreement with Delta Dental. Therefore, non-participating dentists can charge any fee for services, in which it’s the Subscriber’s responsibility to make the full payment to the non-participating dentist. Because of this, it is highly recommended to see a dentist in either the PPO or Premier network.

When valid enrollment documentation is received on the 1st through the 15th day of the month, coverage will become effective the first day of the next month. When valid enrollment documentation is received on the 16th through the last day of the month, coverage will be effective the first day of the second month. Coverage is contingent upon underwriting acceptance. Your subscriber contract period is for 12 months. Coverage continues for 12 months; and will automatically renew for another 12-month period.
