Important: Alternate ID information
In an effort to safeguard your privacy, effective 7/1/2007 Northrop Grumman Corporation and Delta Dental have implemented the use of alternative ID for all enrollee correspondence and identification. To obtain your new alternative ID number, you may call Delta Dental’s Customer Service Department at 800-765-6003. Or, you may print an ID card by using our online benefits and eligibility system. Just log in by entering your user name and password in the area at the top left of this page. If you do not have a user name and password, click the link to register. You should use your alternative ID number when your visit your dentist.

Using alternative ID numbers will help reduce the risk of identity theft. Your alternative ID numbers are subject to the same privacy protections as social security numbers under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Privacy Rule.

While you may continue to use your SSN, you may want to advise your dental office of your new ID at your next visit. (You may then use either your SSN or your alternative ID number). Remember, when you visit a Delta Dentist, you don’t need to present your ID card. Simply provide your alternative ID or your SSN to the office.

Program benefits
Northrop Grumman Corporation offers you three quality dental preferred provider program (PPO) options with varying levels of benefit coverage and costs:

Dental Care Plan — The Dental Care PPO plan features low deductibles and moderate annual maximums. Under this plan you have the option to see any licensed dentist, however, you will receive maximum cost savings and the highest level of coverage by seeing a Delta Dental PPO provider or a Delta Dental Premier Provider. Under the Dental Care PPO plan, your level of benefit is determined by the type of provider you access. By double-clicking on the plan name above, you will be able to see the three-tier level of benefits of the Dental Care plan. This plan is designed to meet the needs of the average user.

Dental Care Plus Plan — The Dental Care Plus PPO plan features low deductibles and higher annual maximums than the Dental Care PPO plan. Under this plan you have the option to see any licensed dentist, however, you will receive maximum cost savings and higher levels of coverage by seeing a Delta Dental PPO provider or a Delta Dental Premier dentist. Under the Dental Care Plus PPO plan, your level of benefit is determined by the type of provider you access.

Delta Dental will notify you if you are eligible for this special out-of-area converge.
