How do I find local Dentists that take my Medicare coverage?

Question

Gary Church · Accepted Answer

Medicare does not cover dental services. They are usually included as an add-on in Medicare Advantage plans, but these are typically HMO dental plans, which may have a smaller network. If you see a specific dentist, I recommend asking your dentist which dental plans they accept and purchasing the plan with which your dentist is contracted.

Plans some have a network and some do not have a network.  I represent the top 5 plans in Alabama, Florida and Tenn.

before enrolling in any Medicare plan, it is important to confirm whether your dentist is in network to avoid unexpected out-of-pocket cost. While every plan offers an online provider directory for clients who aren’t comfortable with technology, I recommend calling your dental office to ask if they accept this particular plan.

Check with the Customer Service for your provider. Another method is to check with your local insurance agent. They usually have access to a list. You may also have access to an online insurance account. Many or these provider accounts have links to dentists, doctors, and other medical services.

If you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan you can check the in-network provider profile to find an in-network dentist.

To be sure you have the most updated information, it is wise to call the member services number or the dental number on your plan insurance card. They will be able to help you find a local dentist who is in network with your plan.

Each carrier will have a list of dental provider who takes the Medicare Advantage Plans but in most cases the Dental office will have that information as well.

Mark Boone · Answer

I assume you have a Medicare Advantage plan otherwise you would need to have a stand alone dental plan. If you do have a Medicare Advantage plan you can contact your insurance company or look on their website
