A note
about waiting periods for Dental Plans:
For groups of less than 10
enrolled members Delta Dental applies a 12 month waiting period for Major
Services.
Major Services include restorative Inlays, Implants, Crowns,
Prosthodontics, Dentures and Partials.
If your group has the optional
Orthodonic Benefit, a 12 month waiting period also applies to the Orthodontic
services.
We can waive
these waiting periods with proof of continuous prior coverage for the past 12
months.
For the Orthodontic benefit waiting period to be waived the proof
must also show that Orthodontia was a covered benefit with the prior coverage.
Proof can
consist of a Creditable Coverage letter from the prior carrier or an internet
screen print-out from the prior carrier showing the dates of coverage and
benefits.
Mandated pediatric coverage under the medical plan does not count
towards waiving the dental waiting periods.
The proof must be
submitted with this enrollment form and cannot be submitted at a later date.
At the bottom of the on line enrollment form you will be given an opportunity to upload a file with the proof of prior coverage.
