Delta Dental of Arkansas is giving its network dentists a credit worth the amount of their monthly premium for July.
The pandemic relief credit, for which funds amount to over $15 million, is meant to provide dentists with a billing break so they can more quickly recover from financial losses caused by extended closures. Delta is not requiring any action from dentists; they will see the credit on their July bills.
Delta also made $2.9 million in assistive grants available to Arkansas dentists in May.
