Dental Plans

Dental Insurance Plans

The California State University offers two Dental Plans, Delta Dental PPO and DeltaCare USA, for eligible employees and their eligible dependents.

  • The monthly premiums for both of these plans are paid entirely by the CSU.
  • To compare the two plans side by side, please view the Delta Dental Comparison Charts.
    • Make sure to check for your Collective Bargaining Unit at the top of the chart. 

Delta Dental PPO

  • Delta Dental PPO dentists agree to accept reduced fees for covered procedures when treating PPO patients.
  • Since you are not assigned to a specific dentist, you will not receive an identification card but you can always log in to your online profile and print one.
  • Your out-of-pocket costs are usually lower when you visit a PPO dentist than when you visit a non-Delta Dental dentist, but you have the freedom to visit any licensed dentist, anywhere in the world.
    • If you choose a non-Delta dentist, you must pay entirely for services obtained and then submit a claim form with appropriate documentation to Delta Dental PPO for reimbursement.
  • Added coverage for certain medical conditions has been added to the PPO plan. For more information, please view the PPO Smile Way Enhanced Plans flyer.
  • If you encounter any difficulties in scheduling your first appointment, please contact Delta Dental directly.
  • If you need to find a dentist, review benefits or download any forms, please visit Delta's website.
