DENTAL Provider Options

**See important note about Pediatric Dental below***

Most cost-savings:

Network:

**Pediatric Dental**: Members under 19 are automatically covered by the UHCSR pediatric dental benefit as primary and the Delta Dental pediatric benefit as secondary. Using both can reduce your exposure to the $500 pediatric dental deductible. To maximize your coverage, you need to show both your UHCSR Member ID and your Delta Dental Member ID Cards to your providers -- ask them to bill both, starting with HealthSmart. Make sure you see providers in the Delta Dental premier or PPO networks (or use the SHS and College of Dentistry Student Clinic). 

Non-Network

  • Providers outside the Student Health Services, College of Dentistry Student Clinic, College of Dentistry Faculty Practice, or Delta Dental PPO/Delta Dental Premier Network
