Employer Frequently Asked Questions
The following are commonly asked dental and vision insurance questions by Delta Dental group clients.
Employer Eligibility and Enrollment
Most employees can print a new ID card by logging into our website. Employees or group administrators can also contact customer service at 1-800-462-5410 to request a replacement ID card.
Dependents, such as a spouse or child, can be added to an employee’s plan during your group's annual enrollment period or during the year, if allowed by your Human Resources policy; however, waiting periods for some benefits may apply. Coverage can be added for dependents at any time as the result of a qualifying event.
Your group’s eligibility waiting period, sometimes referred to as the probation period for new hires, is used to confirm that an employee is a new hire and not a late entrant. If your probation period for new hires changes, please advise us in writing and send correspondence to:
Delta Dental of Arkansas
Marketing Department
PO Box 15965
Little Rock, AR 72231

Qualifying events include marriage, divorce, birth or legal adoption, death or loss of coverage.
Unless a company requests a different age, dependent children can continue coverage until the end of the month in which they turn 26.

Delta Dental understands the need to protect your employee's personal information and social security number. We only use social security numbers to enroll employees and enter their information into our claims system. After an employee is enrolled, they will be assigned an alternate ID number within our system. This alternate ID number will be used in all external communications for Delta Dental. The alternate ID will be printed on the employee’s dental and vision ID cards. Employees, employers and dentists may still retrieve benefits or claims information by using a social security number, but Delta Dental will not display the social security number in any correspondence.
Premiums and Billing
In most cases, credit can be applied to the group’s account within Delta Dental's two-month retroactive rule for Delta Dental Premier and Delta Dental PPO products.
The employee's coverage termination may have been processed after Delta Dental of Arkansas' billing cutoff date. You can check the status of an employee by logging into your account and entering the employee's information in the "Eligibility Maintenance" section. You may also call your Billing and Eligibility Representative at 1-800-462-5410.
