Retiree Dental Plan

Main content start

In addition to coverage for basic dental and major dental services, Stanford's retiree dental plan covers diagnostic and preventive checkups as well as regular cleanings.

You must be enrolled in one of the retiree medical plans to be eligible for the retiree dental plan.

Plan Information

Our retiree dental coverage plan gives you the freedom to choose your own dentist, though your out-of-pocket costs will be lower if you see a dentist in Delta's PPO network. Please keep in mind that when you retire mid year and move from a Stanford employee dental plan to the Stanford retiree plan, all services received under the employee plan will be applied to the retiree plan for the remainder of the calendar year. Benefits will reset at the start of the new calendar year.

BASICS
Overview

This plan pays in-network benefits when your care is either provided or authorized by your Delta Dental PPO network dentist.

If your network dentist does not provide or authorize your care, the charges are considered out of network.

You are encouraged to obtain a predetermination of benefits from Delta for services greater than $300, or for crowns or bridges.
