Plan 1- Delta Dental PPO
DeltaPreferred Option (DPO) is a preferred provider organization program that can reduce your out-of-pocket expenses if you receive care from one of Delta Dental's PPO Dentists. This program has back-up coverage through Delta Dental Premier when treatment is received from a Non-PPO Dentist. You are also free to utilize non-Delta dentists, however there is no protection against balance billing by providers who do not participate with Delta Dental. Delta Dental participating providers accept Delta fees while non-participating providers may not, and may bill you for the difference between Delta Dental's payment and their charge. This is known as balance billing.

Provider Directories
Delta Dental PPO provider directories may be viewed and printed by city or zip code from Delta Dental's web site at www.deltadentaloh.com. You may also call Delta Dental at 1-800-524-0149 for provider information. Delta's Automated Service Inquiry System (DASI) requires that members enter a group number or social security number to obtain benefits and provider information. The group number for state of Ohio members enrolled in the Delta Dental PPO is 9273-0001.

Delta Dental PPO
Benefit Features For
The State of Ohio

Delta Dental PPO is a point-of-service PPO administered by Delta Dental Plan of Ohio. You can go to any licensed dentist, but you could increase your benefits and lower your out-of-pocket costs by going to a PPO dentist. If you don't go to a PPO dentist, you'll be covered by Delta Dental Premier, a managed fee-for-service program. However, you might have to pay more. In addition, non-participating dentists can "balance bill" for amounts over Delta Dental's allowed fee.
