| What is DeltaCare? |
For students who waive SHIP, University Health Services provides
information on a dental insurance program called DeltaCare. DeltaCare
provides comprehensive coverage for dental services with an emphasis
on preventive care. Covered services include check-ups, cleanings,
x-rays, fillings, crowns, oral surgery, and periodontics. DeltaCare
is provided by Delta Dental Plan of California through an affiliate,
PMI.
This voluntary dental plan is available to all Cal students,
affiliates of UC Berkeley, and dependents. DeltaCare is optional
and not managed by the Student Health Insurance Office. For more
detailed information on this program, please call Delta
Dental PMI directly at 800-422-4234 or visit their web site.

- No claim forms
- No deductible
- Low co-payments (as little as $5 for a visit)
- Emergency care available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

| How DeltaCare works |
To use DeltaCare, you simply choose a dentist from
the network of PMI dentists and make an appointment. You pay only
a predetermined co-payment for any covered services you receive.
Currently, there are two network offices in Berkeley and 10 in Oakland
from which to choose. |
| About DeltaCare dentists |
Dentists are chosen with care. Before network membership is granted,
each dental office is screened to determine:
- Number of years the dentist has been in practice (minimum:
5 years)
- Level of care and services offered
- If the dentist offers 24-hour emergency services (required
for membership)
- Convenience of location
|
| How to enroll |

of covered procedures and the corresponding co-payments, along with
