Since 1971, Delta Dental of Idaho has been providing quality dental benefits that are easy to administer, easy to use, and are cost-effective for employers and employees. We believe in making every customer feel valued and we work to promote better dental health for all Idahoans.


Full Range of Products
As you’d expect from the largest dental benefit provider, we offer a full-range of plan options to fit any budget and any size company, from an employer with 3 employees or a large corporation with thousands of employees. We offer:

      ·    Delta Dental Premier (traditional fee-for-service) plans
      ·    Delta Dental PPO (preferred provider option) plans


The Largest Network of Dentists
Delta Dental provides the largest network of dentists locally and nationally. Approximately 90% of all licensed dentists in Idaho are part of Delta Dental of Idaho’s Premier provider network, and 3 out of every four of dentists in the nation are part of the Premier network. Approximately 80% of dentists in the Premier network are part of Delta Dental of Idaho's PPO provider network. Nationally, Delta Dental offers 210,000 Premier dentist locations and more than 130,000 PPO dentist locations.


The Industry Leader
Known as the Dental Benefit Experts, we have been providing quality dental coverage with an emphasis on preventive care to Idahoans for over 37 years. And, unlike insurance companies that provide medical and dental benefits, we specialize exclusively in dental coverage. In addition, Delta Dental of Idaho is a member of the Delta Dental Plans Association, the largest and oldest dental plan system in the country. Delta Dental member companies provide coverage to over 54 million people nationwide.

Not only are we the state’s leading dental benefits company, we are a local Boise-based company with access to providers across the country, making us the best choice for multi-state employers.


Cost Management
The Delta Dental Difference means lower costs for employers and lower subscriber costs too! With Delta Dental of Idaho, you get more value for every dental benefit dollar.

  • No Balance Billing – Delta Dental network dentists agree not to charge patients the difference between their fee and Delta Dental’s maximum plan allowance. Our subscribers are protected from inappropriate billing if they use a network dentist.
  • Claims Review Process – Our claims review process protects patients by ensuring that treatment meets accepted standards of dental care. Our dental consultants perform utilization reviews, discourage dentists from over utilizing expensive procedures, and encourage preventive care.
  • Dentist Fee Database – As the largest, local dental benefit company with national access to the country’s largest dental provider nationwide, we offer the most comprehensive and up-to-date database of dentist billed charges, a key component in establishing an effective maximum plan allowance payment schedule.
  • Detailed Utilization Reports – For self-funded and experience-rated groups, we provide easy access to detailed reports and comparisons for claims costs and utilization in real time.

 

Benefit Administration and Claims Processing
We make it easy to do business with us, saving time and money for benefit administrators. Using our innovative administration and claims system, we can easily answer any of your questions about dental coverage and quickly and accurately process claims. Ninety nine percent of our claims are processed within 15 days on average with 99% accuracy.


Exceptional Customer Service
Our friendly, knowledgeable customer service representatives answer your calls personally and promptly. Calls are not answered by an automated phone system. Our exceptional customer service is part of the reason 98% of our customers renew with us year after year. In addition, we designed our website with our customers in mind. Employers, employees, producers and dentists may easily access the most-up-to-date benefit and claims information 24/7.


Reaching Out To Improve The Dental Health Of Idaho
