This share of the costs is called a copayment. Enrollees must visit their selected DeltaCare USA dentist in order to receive benefits. They are responsible only for the copayment for each procedure at the time of treatment. In addition to knowing procedure costs up front, DeltaCare USA plans also provide other advantages. The plans do not require enrollees to satisfy a deductible, so they can start saving on out-of-pocket costs immediately. And with no annual maximum limitations, enrollees can use their DeltaCare USA benefits all year long. Plan features DeltaCare USA plans include no deductibles and no annual benefit maximums for covered services. Low or no copayments for many services such as cleanings and exams help keep smiles healthy by encouraging regular checkups and cleanings. No claim forms to fill out patients just pay their DeltaCare USA dentist the copayment amount at the time of service. Easy-to-use DeltaCare USA dental plans provide a great balance of network dentist choice and affordability.
