Dental II is administered by Delta Dental of Iowa and is a three-tier provider network (PPO, Premier, and Non-participating providers). You may see any provider you wish. The lower tier of provider you choose, the lower your out-of-pocket cost will be. You do not need to pick a tier when selecting coverage.
