FAQ: Delta Dental and Invisalign

Does Delta Dental cover invisalign?▾
Yes. Delta Dental covers 50% of invisalign on standard plans, subject to your annual deductible ($50) and annual maximum ($1,500). At the national median price of $4,200, the plan pays approximately $1,500 and you pay $2,700 out of pocket.
What's my out-of-pocket cost for a invisalign with Delta Dental?▾
At the national median price of $4,200, Delta Dental pays about $1,500 and you pay about $2,700. Actual out-of-pocket depends on: (1) whether the dentist is in Delta Dental's network, (2) how much of your annual max you've already used, (3) whether the deductible has been met this year, and (4) local pricing (see cost-by-city pages).
Is there a waiting period?▾
None for preventive; 6 months for basic; 12 months for major. If you enrolled recently, verify with Delta Dental customer service before scheduling — some plans have a 6–12 month waiting period on major procedures.
Can I use an HSA or FSA with Delta Dental?▾
Yes. Whatever Delta Dental doesn't cover, you can pay from an HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) using pre-tax dollars. Note the FSA "use it or lose it" rule.
What if my dentist is out of network?▾
Out-of-network dentists cost more out of pocket because Delta Dental pays based on the plan's "usual and customary" rate, not the dentist's actual charge. If your dentist charges $4,200 and the plan's UCR is lower, you pay the difference. Use Delta Dental's find-a-dentist tool to check network status before scheduling.
