Adding Vision Coverage to Your Dental Plan: Why Bundling Dental and Vision Coverage Makes Sense

Why Add Vision Coverage to Your Dental Plan?

Dental and vision benefits both play an important role in preventive care. Routine dental visits help protect your oral health, while regular eye exams can help detect vision changes and identify signs of certain health conditions early.

Adding vision coverage to your dental plan can also make your benefits easier to manage. Instead of juggling separate carriers, provider networks or service contacts, you can keep your coverage with one trusted company. That can make it simpler to understand your options, review plan details and find participating providers.

For individuals, families and older Iowans, bundling can be a practical way to build more complete everyday coverage around the care they are already using.

The Benefits of a Dental and Vision Insurance Bundle

A dental and vision insurance bundle can offer more than convenience alone. It can also help members get more value from their coverage choices by bringing preventive dental and eye care together under one benefits experience.

When you bundle DeltaVision with your Delta Dental plan, key advantages include:

• Simplified coverage management. Dental and vision benefits are easier to review, manage and use when they are paired through one trusted carrier.
• Affordable monthly cost. DeltaVision offers a monthly premium under $18, making it an accessible option for many members.
• Additional value. DeltaVision includes access to hearing care discounts and diabetic vision benefits at no additional cost.
• Support for preventive care. Annual dental exams and annual eye exams both help members stay proactive about their health.
• Strong provider access. Members can use a broad network of vision providers, including independent offices and major retail locations.

For many households, bundling dental and vision plans is a smart way to create more complete coverage without adding unnecessary complexity.

How Dental and Vision Coverage Work Together

Dental care and vision care support more than separate parts of the body. Both are important parts of preventive health.

Routine dental visits can help identify oral health issues before they become more serious and costly. Annual eye exams can do more than update a prescription — they may also help detect signs of broader health concerns, including diabetes and high blood pressure.

When you bundle dental and vision coverage, it can be easier to stay consistent with both types of preventive care. That matters for adults managing ongoing health needs, for families scheduling care across multiple age groups and for older adults who want to stay proactive about changes in vision and oral health over time.

What DeltaVision Includes

DeltaVision gives members access to vision benefits designed to support routine care and everyday eyewear needs. Depending on your plan, coverage may include:

• Annual eye exams
• Coverage for prescription glasses and contact lenses
• Access to the largest vision provider network in the U.S., with more than 140,000 providers
• A broad network of independent and retail providers, including LensCrafters®, Pearle Vision® and Target Optical®
• Additional savings at glasses.com, ContactsDirect.com and Oakley.com
• One & Sun™ benefits for Individual and Family vision plans, including a free pair of designer sunglasses when you get your annual eye exam

These features make DeltaVision a strong complement to Delta Dental coverage for members who want support for both routine dental care and routine eye care.

Who Should Consider Bundling Dental and Vision Coverage?

Bundling may be a good fit for a wide range of members, especially those who want a more streamlined benefits experience.

You should consider adding vision coverage if you:

1. Already have a Delta Dental plan and want more complete preventive coverage
2. Wear glasses or contact lenses
3. Need regular eye exams for yourself or a family member
4. Want one trusted carrier for both dental and vision benefits
5. Are shopping for family-friendly dental and vision plans
6. Want access to a large network of vision providers and retail options

Bundled coverage can be especially useful for families. Children and adults often have different care needs, and having dental and vision benefits together can make it easier to manage plan details across the household.
