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 can, but only if they are a participating provider in the Delta Dental Premier or Delta Dental PPO network. We have a large network of dentists across Idaho and nationwide. If your dentist or specialist is not in one of these networks, we cannot cover their procedures (including orthodontic treatment).

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.

Our Individual plans offer a wide variety of procedure coverage and premium pricing based on the individual or family needs. Our ACA compliant plans do not offer as many procedure coverage options, but do provide a certified pediatric plan option that is compliant with the Affordable Care Act. You can purchase either plan directly through Delta Dental of Idaho, or in partnership with your broker.

The plans found at Your Health Idaho (YHI) are the same plans you will find here. However, if you intend to apply for the Advance Premium Tax Credit (APTC), you must enroll in coverage through YHI. If you do enroll in dental coverage through YHI, any changes to your household information must be completed through YHI.
