“We’re proud to welcome the Pro Football Retired Players Association to the Delta Dental family,” Notari said. “These athletes gave their all on the field, and now it’s our turn to deliver for them—off the field. We’re excited to support the health and well-being of these legends and their spouses.”
Delta Dental has the largest dental network in the nation and offers comprehensive coverage, with a strong focus on preventive care. PFRPA members and their spouses will have access to informational resources detailing their coverage; an online portal to help them manage their benefits; a dedicated mobile app; and telehealth dentistry services.
PFRPA Executive Director Joe Agbasi emphasized how the partnership with Delta Dental reflects PFRPA’s continued commitment to bettering the lives of those who built the game.
“At PFRPA, our members and their families are a key focus of our mission, and supporting their well-being guides every decision that we make as an organization,” Agbasi said. “We continuously seek new ways to enhance the value we provide to our membership. This partnership with Delta Dental marks an exciting new chapter for PFRPA, one that enables us to provide even greater benefits and expanded access to quality dental care for those we are here to serve.”
