PREPAID DENTAL PLANS

DeltaCare USA (formerly PMI) and SafeGuard
These plans provide dental services through member dentists throughout California. (State-sponsored prepaid dental plans are not available outside of California.)

The monthly premiums are fully paid by the State. Enrollees have no monthly premiums, deductibles, or maximum benefit limits. Many services are provided at low or no cost to you. You may change dentists upon request and/or change plans if you move and your plan is no longer available. If you need emergency dental work and are outside your service area (50 miles from your residence), you may go to any dentist for the relief of pain and be reimbursed up to $400 per calendar year.

PREFERRED PROVIDER OPTION DENTAL PLAN

Delta Preferred Provider Option (PPO) - Group #9946
The Preferred Provider Option (PPO) provides services through its network of participating dentists although you may use non-PPO dentists worldwide. If you receive services outside the PPO network, your out-of-pocket costs will be substantially higher. Therefore, you are encouraged to contact Delta Dental before enrolling to ensure there is a PPO provider available in your service area. (Not all Delta Dentists are members of the PPO network.)

For represented employees, the annual maximum benefit available to dependents is $2,000 when using a dentist who is a member of the PPO network, compared to a $1,000 yearly maximum under DeltaPremier. The PPO plan offers a $2,500 lifetime benefit for dental implants and a third cleaning for high-risk patients. Generally, high-risk patients include pregnant women, cancer chemotherapy patients, persons with compromising systemic diseases such as diabetes, AIDS, or endocarditis, and persons who have had organ transplants.

If you are a represented employee in Bargaining Units 1, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, or 21, the amount deducted from your paycheck each month is:

Coverage	2007	2008
Party Code 1 (yourself only)	$ 10.12	$ 10.22
Party Code 2 (yourself plus one dependent)	$ 19.86	$ 20.16
