We are writing to update you on Delta Dental of New Jersey and Connecticut’s response to the COVID- 19 pandemic. We have activated our business continuity plan to ensure appropriate support continues. Our offices and call center are temporarily suspended until further notice. All associates who are able to are working remotely.
Commissions
Since we are currently unable to process paper checks, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is the only way for us to pay broker commission. We are transitioning all commissions paid via check to EFT, a much more efficient process that safeguards both our employees and brokers and allows us to continue to make payments in a timely manner. EFT allows your commissions to be deposited directly into your bank account within three days of processing.
Please enroll no later than March 31 by completing and returning the EFT form along with a copy of a voided check or a letter from your bank confirming your account information. Please return the completed form and accompanying documents by fax or email:
Fax: 973-285-4110
Email: commissions@DeltaDentalNJ.com
Commission statements will be sent electronically to your email address.

- Once autopay is set up, there is no further action needed. The payment will process each month on the day they preselect. There is an autopay option for setting a payment threshold. For example: the group can ensure the payment does not autopay if the billed amount is over a certain amount. In that case, they would need to initiate the payment manually.
Dental Care
- In the event of a dental emergency (generally includes the following symptoms: severe pain, acute infection, swelling, and/or persistent bleeding), we suggest customers first contact their regular dentist to service and guide their care options.
- We are surveying dentists to determine those open for emergencies with new patients, and we’ll post this on our website.
- In addition, since many exams during the COVID-19 emergency are virtual, we will cover remote screening exams for emergency diagnosis.
Thank you for your continued partnership. We will continue to provide updates as conditions change. If you have any questions, please contact me by phone or email.
