VADIP Delta Dental VA dental insurance

[slangpdx]

Does anyone have the VADIP dental insurance for veterans through Delta Dental and can talk about it?  I have had Delta Dental PPO for 12 years.  The VADIP is about $48 a month vs $72 for what seems like similar coverage, but I am concerned with finding dentists in network, i.e. would they be in network for VADIP if they are for PPO, etc.

I dont even know what "VADIP" means.  I get my dental care at the VA.  What is your SC rating?  I have heard, however, of Delta Dental, and it was not good.  Wifey has dental insurance through Humana medicare advantage plan.  If I recall, she had a crown done, and the dentist quoted something like 1200.  After the insurance I had to write a check for 500, and now I got a bill from the dentist for 45 more.  They said the 500 dollars "was an estimate" only, and they would not know how much the insurance paid.

My rating is 70%  and am pretty sure I don't have VA dental coverage.  After many phone trees I got through to the Delta VADIP people, it is $45 a month for pretty much the same coverage I have now under Delta PPO, all the same dentists are in network.  Met Life supposedly also a veteran plan. 

Crowns cost $450 after insurance payment with my current Delta, that has been the same for all 10 years or so.
