Harvard offers comprehensive dental benefits to eligible employees and their dependents through the Delta Dental PPO Plus Premier plan, including a distinctive extended benefit for for faculty and nonunion staff.
-
Coverage includes dentists “in network” in Delta’s Premier and PPO networks; 97% of Massachusetts’ dentists participate.

You can also choose to see “out-of-network” dentists, but this may increase your out-of-pocket costs.

Plan Benefits
-
Dental benefits cover preventive, basic, restorative, major, and orthodontic services. Preventive care is 100% covered. Other services are covered at 25%-50% after deductible (some plan limits apply); for more information please refer to our Dental Plan Overview.

You can choose between PPO and Premier network dentists; PPO dentists cost less.

Dentists agree to accept Delta’s negotiated rate; you can’t be billed for the difference.
- The Harvard School of Dental Medicine Faculty Practice participates in the network.
