Who is eligible for this dental plan?
Residents of Mississippi who are members of Mississippi Farm Bureau
Federation.
Why do I need membership in the Mississippi
Farm Bureau Federation to qualify for this dental plan?
This plan is being offered only to members of the Mississippi
Farm Bureau Federation as one of our Member Benefits, therefore you must
maintain your membership to enroll and keep this dental plan.
How do I become a member of Mississippi Farm
Bureau Federation?
If you have Insurance with the Mississippi Farm Bureau and live
in Mississippi, you probably are already a member. If you are not a member
you can contact your local Mississippi Farm Bureau office to join.
How do I enroll in the Mississippi Farm Bureau
Federation Dental plan?
You may Enroll
Online or you may stop by one of many Mississippi
Farm Bureau Insurance offices and they will be glad to assist you.
How does this plan work?
You can choose any licensed dentist; however, you are likely
to have lower out-of-pocket costs if you choose from the large network
of Delta Dental PPO or Delta Dental Premier Providers. These dentists
have agreed to provide treatment at reduced fees which means your share
of the bill will likely be lower.
How do I know if a dentist is a Delta Dental dentist?
We recommend that you verify that your dentist is a Delta Dental dentist
before each visit. Please be aware that asking if they “accept Delta
Dental” does not guarantee that they are considered a PPO or Premier
dentist. It simply means they will file your claim for you. You still
may be charged the full fee up front. Be sure to ask your dentist if
he or she is a “participating Delta Dental PPO or Delta Dental Premier
dentist”
What are the advantages of visiting a Delta Dental
Dentist?
Delta Dental dentists will not balance bill you above Delta Dental’s
approved amount. Delta Dental dentists submit all claim forms directly
to Delta Dental and will only require you pay your portion of the cost
at the time of treatment. Many Non-Delta Dental dentists require you
to pay all of the cost up front and wait for reimbursement.
What are my
payment options?
Monthly bank draft or monthly credit card billing.
When will my checking
account / credit card be drafted?
The draft will take place between the 18th and 23rd of each month.
When
does my coverage begin?
If your enrollment form is received by the 20th, your coverage begins
the first of the following month.

No. Coverage cannot be purchased for a child under the age of 19 unless
it is through a family plan.

to be covered?
25 years of age. Coverage will end the last day of the month in which
