USI New England is the Rhode Island Bar Association's relationship administrator with Blue Cross Blue Shield and Delta Dental. As a convenience for Bar Association, members, USI New England will act as a liaison between Blue Cross/Delta Dental and Bar members as an alternative to direct Bar member contact with Blue Cross/Delta Dental. Bar members' insurance rates are determined by Blue Cross/Delta Dental and not by USI New England. USI is only the acting agent on behalf of Blue Cross/Delta Dental. There are no savings in Blue Cross/Delta Dental payment rates by going through USI New England. These rates are based on the demographics of the law office and/or the individual attorney applying for coverage. A member may contact Blue Cross/Delta Dental directly without going through USI New England, and the premium will be exactly the same.
