Delta Dental of Washington providing financial relief to policyholders

Delta Dental of Washington is providing COVID-19 financial relief to policyholders by implementing a 25% premium reduction for four months.

Delta Dental’s policyholders do not need to take any action. The monthly premium reduction will be applied automatically to customer invoices for coverage beginning July 1, the dental provider said in a news release. Customers who have paid on an annual basis will receive a refund.

The assistance for Delta Dental policyholders is the latest in support efforts around the state. In March, Delta Dental of Washington provided more than $23.5 million to its in-network independent dental practices in the form of grants and advance claims payments to ensure practices would be able to reopen and serve communities, the company said.

Delta Dental, a nonprofit dental benefit provider, covers more than 3 million people in the state.
