Frequently asked questions
Who controls Moda Health?
Moda Health is the primary insurance operating company of Moda Partners, Inc. The Oregon Dental Association is the ultimate controlling person of the holding company system, a governance lineage that dates to the firm's 1955 founding as Oregon Dental Service. Delta Dental of Oregon operates as a long-term strategic partner rather than an owner.
What happened to Delta Dental of California's stake in Moda?
Delta Dental of California held a 49.5% equity stake in Moda Partners, Inc. from 2019 to 2021. That investment was subsequently divested, and the Oregon Dental Association now stands as the disclosed controlling entity. The exit clarifies Moda's ownership structure but did not change its operational alignment with the Delta Dental network.
How is Moda's investment portfolio structured differently from a typical health insurer?
Most regional health plans hold a portfolio of fixed-income securities and contract with independent providers. Moda instead owns care-delivery assets directly: Arrow Dental clinics, the Ardon Health specialty pharmacy, the Emerging Health infusion center, and Astra Practice Partners, which provides equipment financing and practice-management software to dentists nationwide. This vertical model captures operational margin alongside underwriting profit.
Does Moda Health operate outside of Oregon?
Yes. Moda writes medical and dental plans in Alaska, where it maintains a headquarters in Anchorage opened in 2004. Through its subsidiary BenefitHelp Solutions, it also administers third-party benefit plans for public-sector and private-sector clients beyond the Northwest. Arrow Dental's clinics and Astra Practice Partners' lending business further extend the firm's economic footprint into additional states.
What is the relationship between Moda Health and the Moda Center arena in Portland?
Moda Health holds the naming rights to the Moda Center, the primary indoor sports and entertainment arena in Portland, Oregon. The agreement is a brand asset of the insurer and is housed alongside its commercial real estate holdings, which include Moda Tower and Moda Plaza.
