Dental plans and benefits
SEBB COBRA and Unpaid Leave members and their dependents have three dental insurance plans to choose from: Uniform Dental Plan, DeltaCare, and Willamette Dental. Learn about each plan and find resources to help you choose the plan that is right for you. If you cover dependents, everyone must enroll in the same dental plan.

DeltaCare and Willamette Dental are managed care plans
With a managed care plan, you must choose a primary dental provider within their networks. If you do not choose a primary dental provider, one will be chosen for you. These plans will not pay claims if you see a provider outside of their network.
Is your current provider in the plan's network?
Call your dentist, the dental plan's customer service, or use the dental plan's online directory to verify that your current provider is in network. Make sure you correctly identify your dental plan's network and group number.
Carefully review the selection you make before submitting your enrollment form.
