You've still got the final act to write, but it will have to wait -
because you're waiting too.
The waiting room is stuffy. Too many patients, not enough chairs. The
persistent whine of a drill puts everyone on edge as they wait for their
turn in the chair...
Ah, a trip to the dentist's office. Not exactly one of life's special
pleasures, but an important part of maintaining your overall health. To
keep you smiling brightly, the Fund offers you two dental plans to choose
from, depending on where you live:
|
| PLAN |
AVAILABILITY |
| Delta Preferred Option (DPO) |
...is available nationwide. |
| DeltaCare (DHMO) |
...is available only in California locations with DeltaCare participating
providers. |
The Fund makes dental services available to you because regular checkups are
important for helping you keep your teeth and gums healthy. As an eligible Fund
participant enrolled in the Regular Plan, you and your covered
dependents will be automatically enrolled in the Delta Preferred Option (DPO).
If you live in California, you may choose to enroll in the DeltaCare Dental
HMO (DHMO), a managed dental plan, instead. You also have the option of enrolling
your eligible dependents in the DHMO.
Our dental plans are designed to provide the dental care you need based on
how you prefer to access care and how much you're willing to pay for it. In
the following pages, we'll take a closer look at each dental plan option. We've
also included tips on how to get the most from your dental plan. Read on - your
teeth deserve it!
