Programs described in its return (2)
- $954.4 million spent. Dental Plans: Delta Dental of Wisconsin (Delta) is a not-for-profit dental service corporation that administers and underwrites easy-to-use, cost-effective dental plans for employers and individuals throughout Wisconsin. More than 90 percent of Wisconsin's dentists participate in our Premier network. This relationship allows us to offer quality dental practices, superior cost management programs, accurate payment and guaranteed benefits. For 2024, Delta Dental provided coverage to more than 2.6 million individuals. Delta Dental's commitment to improving the public's oral health is evidenced by the strong dental plans and networks it offers.
- $5.0 million spent. Support for oral and overall health: Delta is also committed to helping improve the oral health of vulnerable populations through its significant support of the Delta Dental of Wisconsin Foundation (Foundation). Grants are provided through the Foundation to non-profit organizations in Wisconsin that work to improve the oral and overall health of individuals without access to dental care and other vulnerable populations. Seal-A-Smile, the largest grantee of the Foundation, is a partnership with the State Oral Health Program to provide school-based dental screenings and sealants to low-income children. Ensuring access to dental care for individuals with Medicaid coverage also remains a priority and the Foundation provides large grants to safety-net dental clinics and medical/dental integration programs. In addition, the Foundation runs statewide programs that are targeted to improve oral and overall health. Foundation grants are targeted to help prevent dental disease, improve access to care for low-income residents, and help ensure Wisconsin has a strong dental workforce, especially in rural areas of the state. The Foundation uses a needs assessment to identify gaps in the state's oral health status and to help determine where their grants could have the greatest impact. The Delta Board reviews the Foundation's Strategic Plan and is informed of its grants throughout the year.
