Mission

The exempt purpose of Delta Dental of Wisconsin is to engage and empower our customers, partners, and communities to improve oral and overall health by developing and delivering innovative products and services built on a culture of legendary service.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Engage and empower our customers, partners, and communities to improve oral and overall health by developing and delivering innovative products and services built on a culture of legendary service.

  • Dental Plans: Delta Dental of Wisconsin (Delta) is a not-for-profit dental service corporation that administers and underwrites easy-to-use, cost-effective dental plans for employers and individuals throughout Wisconsin. More than 90 percent of Wisconsin's dentists participate in our Premier network. This relationship allows us to offer quality dental practices, superior cost management programs, accurate payment and guaranteed benefits. For 2022, Delta Dental provided coverage to more than 2.8 million individuals. Delta Dental's commitment to improving the public's oral health is evidenced by the strong dental plans and networks it offers.

    Expenses $830,166,873 · Revenue $854,378,941

  • Support for oral and overall health: Delta is also committed to helping improve the oral health of vulnerable populations through its significant support of the Delta Dental of Wisconsin Foundation (Foundation). Grants are provided through the Foundation to non-profit organizations in Wisconsin that work to improve the oral and overall health of individuals without access to dental care and other vulnerable populations. Seal-A-Smile, the largest grantee of the Foundation is a partnership with the State Oral Health Program to provide school-based dental screenings and sealants to low-income children. Ensuring access to dental care for individuals with Medicaid coverage also remains a priority and the Foundation provides large grants to nearly twenty safety-net dental clinics and medical/dental integration programs. In addition, the Foundation runs statewide programs that are targeted to improve oral and overall health. Foundation grants are targeted to help prevent dental disease, improve access to care for low-income residents, and help ensure Wisconsin has a strong dental workforce, especially in rural areas of the state. The Foundation uses a needs assessment to identify gaps in the state's oral health status and to help determine where their grants could have the greatest impact. The Delta Board reviews the Foundation's Strategic Plan and is informed of its grants throughout the year.

    Expenses $5,016,381 · Grants $5,016,381

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J, Part I, Line 5a Compensation contingent on revenues of the organization
Sales employees are eligible to receive incentive compensation based upon revenues earned. The amount of compensation for a particular time period is calculated by applying factors for new and renewal business against the corresponding revenue that each sales employee sold during that period.
Schedule J, Part II DEFERRED COMPENSATION
IN PRIOR YEARS, DELTA CONDUCTED AN ANALYSIS OF COMPENSATION PAID AND PROJECTED RETIREMENT BENEFITS TO ITS SENIOR EXECUTIVES. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THESE SENIOR EXECUTIVES HAD ACCEPTED COMPENSATION AND RETIREMENT BENEFITS BELOW MARKET-RATES FOR SEVERAL YEARS AS THE ORGANIZATION WAS NOT THEN IN A POSITION TO PAY MARKET RATES. THE BOARD AGREED AT THAT TIME TO ESTABLISH A SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN AND RECEIVED A REASONABLENESS OPINION FROM AN INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION ORGANIZATION. THE COMPENSATION FROM THIS SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN IS NOTED ON SCHEDULE J, PART II (B), (III). THE AMOUNTS ACCRUED FOR THE CURRENT YEAR ARE REPORTED IN SCHEDULE J, PART II, (C) AND THE AMOUNTS ACCRUED AND REPORTED ON PREVIOUS FORMS 990 ARE REPORTED ON SCHEDULE J, PART II, (F).

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
