Nurses, techs, physicians and support staff spend their days caring for others, and their own checkups can slip down the list. If you work at Hartford HealthCare, your dental coverage is often through Delta Dental. Nutmeg Family Dentistry is an in-network Delta Dental dentist near downtown Hartford, and we've made it simple to book around a busy schedule.
Nutmeg Family Dentistry is an independent practice and is not affiliated with Hartford HealthCare.
Is Your Plan Through Delta Dental?
Many Hartford HealthCare employees carry Delta Dental, but plans and options can change from year to year. To confirm:
Check your dental ID card.
Log in to your Delta Dental member account or app.
Review your benefits enrollment materials or ask your HR or benefits contact.
Delta Dental offers several types of plans, and the details matter. Some are PPO plans, some use a broader network, and some may require you to use a specific group of dentists. Your card or member account will usually show which one you have.
A Delta Dental Dentist Near Downtown Hartford
We're in-network with Delta Dental. For many members, that can mean lower out-of-pocket costs than seeing an out-of-network office, plus less paperwork, because we submit claims for you.
Coverage varies by plan. Before treatment, our office verifies your benefits and explains what your plan is expected to cover, so there are fewer surprises. You can read more about insurance, payment options and CareCredit financing on our finances page.
How to Check Your Eligibility and Benefits
Before your visit, it helps to know a few things about your plan:
Your remaining annual maximum. This is the most your plan pays in a plan year.
Your deductible. Has it been met yet this year?
How many cleanings you've had. Many plans cover two per year.
Waiting periods. If you're newly enrolled, some plans have waiting periods for certain treatments.
You can find most of this in your Delta Dental account. Or, give us your plan information when you book, and our team will verify your eligibility and benefits for you.
Booking Around a Healthcare Schedule
Rotating shifts, on-call weeks and long stretches on the floor make it hard to plan ahead. A few tips:
Book online. Our online booking lets you see available times and pick one that fits your rotation, without waiting to call during a break.
Book your next visit before you leave. Once your schedule for the coming weeks is set, reserve your next checkup so it doesn't get pushed off.
Pair visits. If your kids or partner need a checkup too, our family practice sees kids and adults, so you may be able to schedule visits close together.
Use your days off strategically. If a filling or crown is recommended, ask us how long the appointment usually takes so you can plan it for a lighter day.
Our office is at 50 State House Square, an easy trip from many parts of downtown Hartford. Learn more about our downtown Hartford dental office.
