Out-of-Country Claims

As a Delta Dental member, you can visit any licensed dentist anywhere in the world for your dental care. Even if you’re out of the country when you receive dental treatment, you have peace of mind when you have Delta Dental coverage.

Please note that in these situations, out-of-network coverages apply.

When you see a dentist outside of the U.S., you are responsible for obtaining the necessary documentation for services provided, filing a claim form with Delta Dental, and paying the dentist at the time services are performed. When you submit your claim and accompanying documentation, please include a valid phone number or email address so that we may contact you if necessary to prevent delays in processing your claim.


Please review the additional information below and follow the instructions carefully:
