Make your dental plan work harder!

Dental plans are changing. There are a number of innovations in plan design that can save you money and make your plan a better value. Below are a few options that can help give you a smarter dental plan.
Evidence-Based Integrated Care Plan

Delta Dental of Wisconsin’s new Evidence-Based Integrated Care Plan (EBICP) provides special supplemental benefits for pregnant women, persons with diabetes, and patients with a history of periodontal disease. Surprisingly affordable, this optional coverage can help employers lower their overall costs by reducing the expenses associated with diabetes management and periodontal disease, and costly medical complications resulting from deliveries of preterm, low birth weight infants. EBICP bridges the gap between dentistry and medical treatment. Click here for more information.
