Having Delta Dental coverage makes it easy for our enrollees to get dental care almost everywhere in the world! You can now receive expert dental care when you’re outside of the United States through our Passport Dental program. This program gives you access to the International SOS Assistance (I-SOS) worldwide network of dentists and dental clinics. English-speaking I-SOS operators are available around the clock to answer questions and help you schedule care. For more information, check our Web site or contact your benefits representative to get a copy of our Passport Dental information sheet.
Maximum Payment - $500 per person total per benefit year on Class I, Class II and Class III Benefits. Delta Dental's payment for Class IV Benefits will not exceed a lifetime maximum of $1,000 per eligible person.

Waiting Period - Employees who are eligible for dental benefits are covered on the first day of employment.
Eligible People - All full-time employees of the contractor working more than 30 hours a week and offered to those down to 17 1/2 hours a week and all individuals who are eligible for and elect Continuation Coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 if applicable.
Also eligible at your option are your legal spouse and your dependent children to the end of the calendar year in which they turn 19 and your dependent unmarried children to the end of the calendar year in which they turn 23 if a full-time student and eligible to be claimed by you as a dependent under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code during the current calendar year.
If you and your spouse are both eligible for coverage under this policy, you may be enrolled together on one application card or separately on individual application cards, but not both. Your dependent children may only be enrolled on one application card. Delta Dental will not coordinate benefits if you and your spouse are both covered under this policy.

The Contractor pays the cost of this plan for Subscribers only. The Subscriber pays the additional cost of dependent coverage.
Benefits will cease on the last day of the month in which the employee is terminated.
