Staff Reports | Digital Free Press
Delta Dental of Arizona is relocating its headquarters to 14850 N. Scottsdale Road, which is on the southwest corner of Greenway Parkway and Scottsdale Road.
The 13,400-square-foot space is designed with flexibility and innovation in mind as Delta Dental officials say they expect to move from its current digs in Glendale this May, according to a press release.
“This move means more than a simple change of ZIP code. As we continue our transformation from a single-line insurance company to a multi-line health and wellness company, it is critical to have a physical presence where other such organizations reside,” said Michael Jones, president and chief executive officer of Delta Dental of Arizona.
In addition, according to Mr. Jones, the move was made with Delta Dental of Arizona team members, current and future, in mind.
“It was also a priority to adapt our layout to modern work practices. As a result, our new space is designed for greater efficiency and collaboration,” Mr. Jones said in a prepared statement.
The new suite features fewer traditional offices and more meeting spaces, from conference rooms to huddle zones, to fit the team members’ varied needs. The design also provides a central hub for gatherings and connections, Delta Dental officials tell the Digital Free Press.
“It is also outfitted with state-of-the-art technology that will make working and sharing information among team members seamless, driving more efficiencies in how we support our customers, members, providers, and brokers,” Mr. Jones said.
The move is the latest in a series of major announcements from the health and wellness company.
In recent weeks, Delta Dental of Arizona announced that effective April 1, 2024, most plans will give children and adults with special health care needs access to increased benefits, including:
- additional dental visits to increase patient and caregiver comfort and set treatment expectations;
- up to four dental cleanings in a benefit year; extra chair time for treatment delivery modifications necessary to accommodate patients with sensory sensitivities, behavioral challenges or other barriers to treatment; and
- use of anesthesia to provide dental care, which may include up to four units of anesthesia, when necessary.
In March, Delta Dental announced a partnership with The University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix to create Arizona’s first-ever Oral Health In Medicine Initiative (OHMI).
