the provider should contact the NM Delta Dental office to confirm your

Delta Dental Office. Contact the Delta Dental office when accessing
services outside of NM to insure proper coordination and processing of
claims.

Upon enrollment Delta Dental will mail you Insurance ID cards.

will use the card with the primary member's name. If you do not receive
your ID card, please contact Delta Dental to have one sent to you or you
may log onto Delta Dental’s Web site and print out an ID card. UNM
provides Delta Dental with your UNM Banner Id for identification
purposes. Please provide your UNM Banner Id number, not your social
security number, when utilizing services at your Dental Provider or when
speaking to Delta Dental.
