Patient Direct May Be Perfect Gift for Dads and Grads

Looking for something special for Father’s Day or your favorite graduate? Delta Dental Patient Direct could be just the thing.

Delta Dental Patient Direct is a dental membership program available to New Jersey residents without dental insurance. Patient Direct can help improve access to dental care for retirees, new graduates who no longer receive benefits under their parents’ insurance, and others who do not have company-sponsored dental benefits.

Members gain access to New Jersey dentists who limit their fees to those in the Delta Dental Patient Direct fee schedule. Patient Direct members pay the same negotiated fees as we pay our Delta Dental PPO dentists. This is usually less than what uninsured patients pay.

The Patient Direct program encourages people without dental insurance to take charge of their oral health and visit their dentist regularly. Routine care helps prevent serious dental problems, and can contribute to overall health. Patient Direct includes general services such as routine cleanings, fillings, and x-rays, as well as crowns, root canals, gum treatments, extractions, dentures, orthodontia, and cosmetic services. Because this is not dental insurance, even treatment for pre-existing dental conditions is subject to the fee schedule.

Patient Direct membership also includes savings on eye exams, frames, lenses, and contact lenses through EyeMed Vision Care.

Membership is $66 for individuals and $96 for families.
