Another Delta pilot I know just had a bridge done on a back molar, which is next after a root canal, and it was $2000 out of pocket (total was $3500). The other options were cheaper dentures, or an implant, which is not covered at all because it is considered "cosmetic.". That option costs $4000 out of pocket. Brush your teeth and floss!
Your statement regarding implants is not true. My is in the middle of the implant process and it has been covered up to the yearly maximum.

Hey guys,
Thanks for asking Carl!
Mother-in-law came through the surgery and will live. Now, its the long road of physical therapy. She is coherent and talking, which is good. Not out of the woods yet but her doc said he'd never seen a stroke victim recover so quickly. Thanks for all of the prayers and kind words bros. DAL has been great and has me home now watching my kids while my wife stays with her mom up in SFO. Hopefully, I'll be back in the saddle next week.

That's good to hear, Buzz. I hope she makes a quick recovery.

I had implants last year with the Delta Dental plan that DAL offers. They balked when the periodontist filed the claim for the implants themselves, apparently because the office didn't file an advance estimate letter. Dentist's office absorbed most of that lost coverage but I paid 50%, which is the standard coverage for implants. The "teeth" were put on later and Delta Dental covered the standard 50%. I think the key is the advance letter BEFORE you have the work done.

Does anyone else make anything out of the fact that the company keeps posting information on Deltanet that they plan on raising non-contract employees pay by July 1st?
Is this how they normally do it?
