Did you know that you can decrease your copayments for dental care by an average of 22% just by seeing a TRDP network dentist?
TRDP network dentists have an agreement with Delta Dental to accept lower fees for providing high-quality, comprehensive dental care to TRDP enrollees. Lower fees result in lower enrollee copayments. Also, since TRDP network dentists accept lower fees, you will have more of your annual maximum to apply toward additional care.
In the chart below are examples of the savings you could receive when you see a TRDP network dentist. The examples shown in this chart are intended only for the purpose of demonstrating savings based on one location and not an average across the country. Your actual dollar amount saved and percent of savings will depend on your location, your deductible and annual maximum amounts remaining, the types of procedures, coverage levels and other factors.
