Dental & Vision Insurance

For most dental insurance plans, wait periods are waived if you have had prior dental coverage that ended less than 63 days before enrollment in the new dental plan.

If you did not have prior dental coverage, there are some dental plans that do not have wait periods.

Routine dental benefits typically include 2 exams and cleanings per year and bitewing x-rays once per year. Comprehensive dental benefits encompass services like extractions, fillings, root canals, etc.

In most cases, you can enroll in a dental plan at any time during the year, and it will be effective as early as the first of the following month.

Original Medicare only covers limited services that are done in conjunction with medical procedures.

If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, your policy MAY include built-in routine and/or comprehensive dental and vision benefits or it may have a program that helps pay for dental and vision services.
