Enrollees must submit a 4-month premium with their initial enrollment application. Premiums are assessed by region. Eventually, retired soldiers will be able to have premiums collected through payroll deductions from retired pay. Diagnostic and preventive services do not require a deductible or cost share.
Children receive two cleanings and two exams each enrollment year.
Adults receive one cleaning and two exams. Crowns, bridges, and dentures are not covered. When care is received from a DeltaSelect USA dentist, the fees are prenegotiated and there will be no additional charge. When a non-network dentist provides the care, there can be an additional payment required if there is a difference in what the program allows and what the dentist charges. A DeltaSelect USA dentist will also submit the claim and be paid directly by the contractor.
