Example

How Delta Dental prorates in-progress orthodontic treatmentAssume you began 18-month orthodontic treatment under Aetna on July 1, 2017, and the total cost of treatment is $4,500. Your coverage switched to Delta Dental on Jan. 1, 2018. Orthodontics is covered at 50%, and your lifetime orthodontic maximum is $2,000.

1. First, figure out the cost per month. Divide the total cost of treatment by the number of months. $4,500 ÷ 18 months = $250 per month

2. Then, count how many months of treatment occurred under the previous plan. July 1, 2017 to Jan. 1, 2018 = 6 months

3. Calculate the cost of treatment under the previous plan. Multiply the number of months (Step 2) by the cost of treatment per month (Step 1). 6 months x $250 = $1,500

4. To figure out Delta Dental’s portion, first subtract the cost under the previous plan (Step 3) from the total fee. $4,500 - $1,500 = $3,000

5. Then, multiply by the rate of coverage (50%). $3,000 × 50% = $1,500

6. Is this amount under the $2,000 orthodontic lifetime maximum? If yes, this is the amount Delta Dental will pay. (If it’s $2,000 or more, Delta Dental will pay $2,000.) Yes: $1,500

7. You pay the remaining amount. Subtract the amount covered by the previous plan (Step 4) from Delta Dental’s portion (Step 6). $3,000 - $1,500 = $1,500

Does my orthodontic lifetime maximum carry over from Aetna?No, your orthodontic maximum will reset to $2,000. That means added savings for in-progress orthodontic treatment.
