Dental Plan Design
Delta Dental of Rhode Island | For more details, please refer to the plan document.
RISD offers full-time faculty & librarians dental insurance through Delta Dental of Rhode Island. The plan covers exams and other dental care and treatment, including orthodontia. You can choose any licensed dentist; they don’t need to be in network. However, visiting an in-network dentist will result in lower rates. No referral is required for seeing specialists.
The plan also includes a carry-over feature. If your total yearly claims do not exceed $1,200, you can carry up to $250 into the next plan year. You can carry over an additional $100 if you use exclusively in-network providers. Provider directories are available at www.deltadentalri.com.
- Out-of-Network: You have the freedom to choose any dentist, but it is important to know that your out-of-pocket costs may be higher when you visit a dentist who does not participate in the Delta Dental network. Services from an out-of-network dentist may cost you more than benefits shown on this page.
