Dental Program

Overview

RESIG provides a self-insured dental program for participating member school districts and charter schools, with access to the Delta Dental network of participating providers.

Because the program is self-insured, participating RESIG members collectively pool their dental costs rather than purchasing traditional fully insured dental coverage. This structure allows RESIG to focus on long-term program stability, competitive benefits, and the evolving needs of our members.

Dental Plan Options

RESIG offers three dental benefit levels, providing participating districts and charter schools flexibility in selecting coverage that meets the needs of their employees:

$1,900 Annual Maximum
$2,400 Annual Maximum
$2,900 Annual Maximum

Each benefit level is available with or without orthodontic coverage.

Members receive the greatest value when utilizing a Delta Dental participating provider, while maintaining the flexibility to receive care from other dental providers.

Member-Guided Program

RESIG’s Dental Program is shaped collaboratively with our participating members. Each year, RESIG convenes a Dental Stakeholders Meeting to review the performance and financial health of the dental pool, discuss benefit and program options, and consider potential changes for the upcoming plan year.

This collaborative approach gives participating districts and charter schools a voice in the program and helps RESIG balance meaningful benefits, affordability, and the long-term stability of the dental pool.

Dental Provider Access & RESIG's Response

RESIG recognizes the ongoing challenges members are experiencing when trying to find and maintain care with participating Delta Dental providers. Dental provider participation has continued to change, and we regularly hear from members about difficulties finding local dentists who are accepting new patients or continuing to participate in the Delta Dental network.

We share these concerns and continue to actively explore solutions.

As the sponsor of a self-insured dental program, RESIG has evaluated alternative dental networks, reimbursement approaches, and benefit strategies with the goal of supporting better access to care while maintaining the long-term financial stability of the dental pool. We have also made benefit enhancements designed to provide greater value to members, including expanded preventive care benefits and additional benefits for members who utilize participating providers.

Bringing Dental Care to You with Jet Dental

RESIG has also partnered with Jet Dental to bring convenient, on-site preventive dental services directly to participating workplaces. Jet Dental’s mobile dental teams provide services such as exams, X-rays, cleanings, and other preventive care, helping members access routine dental care without having to locate or travel to a traditional dental office.

Jet Dental does not replace the need for a regular dental provider, particularly when restorative or specialty treatment is needed. Instead, it provides an additional option for accessing important preventive services while RESIG continues working to address broader provider-access challenges.

RESIG remains committed to advocating for our members, monitoring changes in the dental marketplace, and evaluating opportunities to strengthen access and benefits within our Dental Program.
