Faculty & staff: Don’t confuse these dental plans

The PEBB Program offers two dental plans administered by Delta Dental that are often confused. Sometimes members intend to enroll in Uniform Dental Plan (UDP) but accidentally enroll in DeltaCare, or vice versa. During open enrollment, be careful to choose the dental plan you want.

  • DeltaCare (Group 3100) is a managed-care plan with a narrow network. You must choose a primary care dentist within the network or you will be assigned a primary care dentist. Your primary care dentist must give you a referral to see a specialist. This plan will not pay claims if you see a provider outside of the network.
    • Please note there are no DeltaCare clinics on the Palouse.
  • Uniform Dental Plan (Group 3000) is a preferred-provider plan. You may choose any dental provider at any time, but you will usually have lower out‑of‑pocket costs if you see in‑network providers.

Compare your dental plan options on the PEBB Program’s Dental plans & benefits web page. Before you enroll in a dental plan, check with the plan (DeltaCare or UDP, not the provider) to see if your provider is in the plan’s network and confirm the group number. You can call the dental plan’s customer service or use the plan’s online directory.
