How the Dental Plans Work

Salem Health offers two Delta Dental plan options โ€“ the Dental Basic plan or the Dental + Orthodontia plan. All family members must be enrolled on the same plan; mixing coverage options within a family is not permitted.

With both plans, you have the freedom to choose any dentist or dental care provider. When using a Delta Dental PPO dentist or a Delta Dental Premier dentist, the dentist may not charge you the difference between the plan allowance and the billed amount for covered services. Your out-of-pocket costs will be lower when you visit a Delta Dental PPO dentist.

Both plans fully cover preventive services, such as regular exams, cleanings and X-rays They also provide coverage for basic and major services, including fillings, crowns and extractions. What differentiates the two plans is orthodontic coverage. Only the Dental + Orthodontia plan includes orthodontic coverage for both adults and children.
