You can choose from two plans for dental insurance, both offered by Delta Dental of Kansas: Basic Plan and Plus Plan. Both plans feature three tiers: PPO, Premier and out-of-network. For the lowest out-of-pocket costs, visit a dentist in the PPO network (find the provider list at DeltaDentalKS.com).
What’s the same?
In both plans, diagnostic services and preventive treatments are free to support good oral health while keeping costs down.
What’s different?
The Plus plan offers lower deductibles, lower coinsurance and coverage for orthodontia services, in exchange for higher premiums.
