I have Original Medicare, and I’m wondering if I’d save more on my dental cleanings if I switched to a Medicare Advantage plan instead.

Answered by 5 licensed agents

I would never change to a Medicare advantage plan for something like dental cleanings. Depending on your situation you could save in one area while adding more expense to another. If, however, you need extensive dental, the right plan could help you save.

Quick answer is most likely. Do your research first.. Many Advantage plans have dental coverage. Coverage and benifits will vary.. I would not make dental coverage your primary focus in choosing an Advantage plan.. If one doesn't find what they need for dental care in an Advantage plan there are many stand alone plans that will.

Yes you can save money on dental cleanings if you switch to a Medicre Advantage plan. Most Advantage plan include $0 copay for cleanings, x-rays, preventive care, and extraction.

You definitely would save more on an advantage plan in the dental category. Everybody’s needs vary and so it really depends on what is best for you but if you’re medical needs are very easily managed or non-existent then it’s not a bad idea to invest more into your vision, dental, and hearing (which original Medicare doesn’t cover) and Medicare advantage has a reputation for offering some high dental benefits. The first step is to talk to a broker about “good plans” with a good dental benefit.

Seeing as Original Medicare offers no coverage for dental cleanings, the general answer is yes. But exactly how much you would save depends on the details of the individual Medicare Advantage (MA) plan. Some MA plans offer extensive dental benefits no matter which dentist is seen, whereas some MA plans offer specific benefits, for example, cleanings, for in network dentists only.
