Compton Unified School District provides two (2) dental plans to choose from - Delta Dental PPO or Delta Care HMO. Please look at the Dental Plan Comparison before you select a plan. The Dental Plan Comparison is a basic summary of what each plan covers. Your benefits will begin the month following your hire date if you turn in your paperwork within 30 calendar days from your hire date.
DELTA DENTAL PPO (Group #: 0908-9502)
With the Delta Dental Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) dental plan, you may visit a PPO dentist and benefit from the negotiated rate or visit a non‐network dentist. When you utilize a PPO dentist, your out‐of‐pocket expenses will be less. You may also obtain services using a non‐network dentist; however, you will be responsible for the difference between the covered amount and the actual charges and you may be responsible for filing claims.
DELTA CARE HMO (Group #: 71691-0228)
With the Dental Health Maintenance Organization (DHMO) plan through Delta Dental, you are required to select a general dentist to provide your dental care. You will contact your general dentist for all of your dental needs, such as routine check‐ups and emergency situations. If specialty care is needed, your general dentist will provide the necessary referral. For covered procedures, you'll pay the pre‐set copay or coinsurance fee described in your DHMO plan booklet. Please keep a copy of your booklet to refer to when utilizing your dental care. This will show the applicable copays that apply to all of the dental services that are covered under this plan.
