CheckUp Plus

February 4, 2012

New option promotes wellness

CheckUp Plus is a new option for Delta Dental of Wisconsin groups that enables enrollees to obtain diagnostic and preventive dental services without those costs applying to their plan year individual annual maximum. CheckUp Plus promotes regular visits to the dentist for exams and cleanings. Preventive care can save costs over the long-term by reducing the need for more expensive services. With the growing body of evidence showing the links between oral health and overall health, CheckUp Plus is an easy way to promote wellness among employees. It's simple and easy to understand.

What services are included?

All services listed under the diagnostic and preventive services of your plan are included in CheckUp Plus. This includes examinations, routine x-rays and cleanings. Sealants are also included if they are part of your plan's diagnostic and preventive category, along with any other services that are in that category.

Example

The following example shows the impact of CheckUp Plus on an enrollee's individual annual maximum. (Plan benefit and dentist charges vary. Example assumes two routine check-ups, covered at 100%, and a $1,000 annual maximum.)
