ODS is unique in that we have contracts with more than 2,000 licensed dentists in Oregon. With the Delta Dental Plan of Oregon, ODS subscribers have the option to access more than 100,000 dental professionals nationwide.
ODS has specific fee arrangements with our participating dentists in Oregon to ensure that actual charges made by the dentist do not exceed his or her accepted fees on file with ODS.
As a service to our customers, your dental office may submit a pretreatment plan to ODS on your behalf. We will return it to them indicating the dollar allowance that will be covered by your plan.
Through our Oral Health, Total Health program, ODS offers individuals diagnosed with diabetes the benefit of four cleanings per year instead of two. In addition to routine oral cancer exams, ODS provides coverage for ViziLite and Brush Biopsy, two nonsurgical screenings designed to aid in the early detection of abnormal cells in the mouth.
When selecting an ODS SeniorSelect Medicare supplement or ODS Advantage plan, you also can choose the SeniorSelect dental plan. New members are eligible to select the dental plan during a one-time-only enrollment period. The dental plan effective date will coincide with your ODS Medicare plan effective date. Dental plan members may retain the dental plan membership if eligibility in an ODS Medicare plan ends.
