Q: Does SCAN Health Plan include Delta Dental?

Yes. For members in California and Washington, SCAN Health Plan provides dental coverage through Delta Dental. Most members use the DeltaCare USA (HMO) network, and some plans offer an optional PPO buy-up using the Delta Dental Medicare Advantage PPO network for more dentist flexibility.

The basics

How the SCAN Delta Dental benefit works

It's a Medicare Advantage dental benefit — different from buying an individual Delta PPO on your own.

It comes with your SCAN plan

All SCAN plans include the preventive dental that Original Medicare covers; most offer added dental coverage, sometimes for an extra monthly premium.

You use the Delta network

Standard benefit uses the DeltaCare USA (HMO) network with an assigned office. Add the optional PPO buy‑up to use the wider Delta Dental Medicare Advantage PPO network.

We help you use it

SCAN Delta Dental — FAQs

Is the SCAN Delta Dental benefit a PPO?

By default it's a DeltaCare USA HMO benefit — you use an assigned in‑network office with set copays. Some SCAN plans let you add an optional PPO buy‑up for an extra premium, which opens up the broader Delta Dental Medicare Advantage PPO network.

How do I find a dentist?

Search deltadentalins.com/scan or call Delta Dental at 1‑855‑830‑6583 (TTY 711). Or have CoverCapy find and book one for you.

Should I also buy an individual Delta PPO?

Usually not if your SCAN dental already meets your needs — you'd be paying twice. Consider an individual Delta PPO only if you're not Medicare‑eligible, not on SCAN, or want coverage your SCAN benefit doesn't include. These are separate products with separate rules.

SCAN Health Plan is a Medicare Advantage organization; enrollment depends on Medicare eligibility and plan availability in your area. Dental benefits, networks, copays and the optional PPO buy‑up vary by SCAN plan and by state — see your Evidence of Coverage or call SCAN Member Services for specifics. DeltaCare USA and Delta Dental Medicare Advantage PPO are Delta Dental products.
