FAQs

Although AzMT does contract with Delta Dental of Arizona for their dental provider network (which can be confusing), your benefits provider is AzMT.

A deductible is the amount of dental expenses you are responsible for paying before your insurance starts covering you. A common deductible is $50 per person — this means you would be responsible for paying the first $50 in dental treatment expenses before receiving dental coverage. (Please note under the AzMT dental plan, preventive care, which includes routine oral examination and cleanings, is payable at 100% and does not require satisfaction of the deductible.)

Coinsurance is the cost of a dental service that you are responsible for paying after satisfaction of the annual deductible. Coinsurance is expressed as a percentage. For example, many dental insurance plans have 20% coinsurance for restorative care and extractions and a 50% coinsurance for major services such as crowns, bridges, dentures and orthodontics.

An out-of-pocket expense is any cost you have to pay yourself when receiving dental care. This includes your deductible and coinsurance.
