4 Reasons to Go PPO

If you are a general or pediatric dentist and your practice isn't yet participating in Delta Dental PPO, here's why you should consider signing up today.
  1. More employers than ever are choosing Delta Dental PPO for their employees. More than 53,000 groups nationwide provide Delta Dental PPO coverage.
  2. People with Delta Dental PPO are seeking Delta Dental PPO dentists. More than 61 million members have Delta Dental PPO benefits nationwide.
  3. Many people are switching to Delta Dental PPO from other coverage. Delta Dental PPO enables patients to stretch their annual maximum to cover more services when they see a Delta Dental PPO dentist. This means they are less apt to postpone treatment such as crowns, because they will have lower out-of-pocket costs.
  4. Your associate dentists can participate in Delta Dental PPO while you remain a Delta Dental Premier dentist if you choose. This means your associate dentist can help grow the practice by attracting more Delta Dental PPO patients, while you continue to treat Delta Dental Premier patients.
