Delta Dental of Illinois Upgrade FAQs for Brokers

  • What has changed?

    Many of our changes are behind the scenes affecting our administrative processes, but you will notice a number of changes including:

    • A new broker portal! You are able to view upcoming renewals, view group data and eligibility (if you have your group's permission), access commission statements and more!
    • Changes to the look and format of commission statements and other correspondence materials from Delta Dental of Illinois.
  • What has changed for my group clients?

    Many of our changes are behind the scenes affecting our administrative processes, but your group clients will notice a number of changes including:

    • A new look, enhanced functionality and better user experience on their online employer portal account. They can still manage benefits, enroll and update employees, access and print ID cards, generate eligibility reports and view and download bills, with the added benefit of making real‑time bill updates.
    • New portal URL – make sure your group clients update their bookmarks!
    • Changes to the look and format of bills and other correspondence materials available in the employer portal or from Delta Dental of Illinois.
    • Your clients’ group number (also referred to as the top account number) has 11 digits and begins with six zeros, e.g. 00000012345. How we structure their account is changed so you and your group clients may see some other new account numbers on documents, or in the portal, called sub accounts and sub sub accounts. Learn more about the updated account structure.
    • Existing active employer portal super users should have received new usernames and passwords. If they don't have an active employer portal account(meaning they haven't accessed the account in the past 12 months), they will need to re-register for the employer portal, if they are a group administrator.
