Plan 2 - Delta Dental Premier
Delta Dental Premier is the program offered to exempt employees who live in the remaining 38 Ohio counties or out of state. DeltaPremier is a traditional fee-for-service plan. DeltaPremier dentists have agreed to accept Delta's usual payment as payment in full with no balance billing of members. Nearly 3,600 Ohio dentists participate in the DeltaPremier program. Members may also use a non-participating dentist and receive the same level of benefits, but without the protection against balance billing by providers.

Provider Directories
Delta Dental Premier 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 Automatic 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 Premier plan is 9273-1001.
