Delta Dental of Kentucky, with its affiliates in Arkansas, Indiana, Michigan, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio and Tennessee collectively are among the largest dental plan administrators in the nation. In 2013, the enterprise paid out nearly $3 billion for dental care for 12.1 million enrollees. The Delta Dental plans are members of the Delta Dental Plans Association, a nationwide system of independently operated dental health service plans. Together, the plans provide coverage to more than 56 million Americans and operate the nation’s largest network of participating dentists. As the oldest and largest dental plan in Kentucky, no other dental benefits administrator can match Delta Dental’s experience and expertise: we are the dental experts. Our dental focused skills enable us to strike an appropriate balance between managing our customers’ costs and making sure their members receive access to quality care. All of our programs have proven cost management and quality assurance features that save millions of dollars each year for our customers and enrollees, enabling us to manage both total costs (administration and claims) and quality like no other carrier can.
