Accepted at a wide range of in-person locations as well as five major online retailers (Glasses.com, Ray-Ban.com, lenscrafters.com, targetoptical.com, contactsdirect.com), you won't struggle to apply your benefits.

Delta Dental Insurance Program

Offer your employees the same benefits large employers do! Whether you employ two people or 100, VRGA Members can offer their employees access to dental benefits from the nation’s leading dental insurance carrier. That means they will receive the same benefits, quality of care, and access to dentists offered by bigger businesses.

Northeast Delta Dental is part of America’s largest and most experienced dental insurance provider as well as a local company doing business in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. They cover over one million of your neighbors locally and more than 80 million people in more than 141,000 groups across the United States. Delta Dental’s panel of dentists is the nation’s most extensive: 4 out of 5 dentists nationwide participate in their networks, and even more locally. Their unique dual network provides both choice and value to your employees. Northeast Delta Dental members are free to see any dentist they wish but generally receive the most value from their benefits when receiving care from a participating provider. 

Our partnership with Delta Dental means you have access to a variety of affordable plan options with no minimum enrollments. Don't get caught in an expensive situation without coverage. The true cost of a cavity alone is very high!

"Working with Lincoln Financial was a wonderful experience. Everything was very smooth, from setup to implementation. Jason Stannard did a great job of guiding me through the process, and the team at Lincoln Financial made the actual transaction and transition a breeze. We ended up saving over $12,000 annually and have less to manage on our end. - Chris Henry, President, The Medical Store
