Children's Health PSA Debuts
Parents have the greatest influence over their children’s oral health habits. That’s the message of a new 60-second public service announcement produced by Delta Dental and available on our Web site.

Maximum Allowable Charges (MACs) for Some Services Recalculated for 2009
MACs are the fee levels Delta Dental uses in processing claims. This recalculation will affect certain services performed in 2009 by participating and non-participating dentists in New Jersey and Connecticut. Also, effective January 2010, Delta Dental made changes to the MACs for services performed in 2010. We expect many fees to increase, some to decrease, while others will remain unchanged. More details are available by logging into Benefits Connection.

Matters of the Heart
February means Valentine’s Day. Keep the romance alive (or get it started) by keeping your breath sweet for your sweetie!
