Original Medicare does not include routine dental coverage, and stand-alone dental plans can get pricey.
We know that dental care is important to your overall health, which is why all Peoples Health plans include a routine dental benefit provided by UnitedHealthcare Dental.
This benefit includes $0 copays for preventive dental services and most comprehensive services, too, when you see a network provider.
You’re covered up to your plan’s annual maximum benefit amount.
For example, if your plan’s dental maximum is $2,000, that means you pay $0 for covered services until you reach $2,000 for the year. You’re responsible for covering the cost of any services that exceed your plan maximum.
Refer to your plan’s Evidence of Coverage for more information about your annual maximum amount.
Covered services include...
Dental exams
X-rays
Routine cleanings
Deep cleanings
Fluoride
Fillings
Crowns
Extractions
Root canals
Anesthesia
These services are covered at $0, up to your maximum benefit amount. For most plans, bridges and dentures are covered for 50% coinsurance
There is no deductible for these covered services.
Dental implants and cosmetic services, such as orthodontics, teeth whitening and veneers, are not covered under this benefit.
With the Peoples Health dental benefit, you have access to the largest national Medicare Advantage dental network, making it easier than ever to find an in-network dentist.
To find a network dental provider, use the search tool at UHCMedicareDentistSearch.com.
Select National Medicare Advantage Network from the Select a Network drop-down menu, then input other search criteria, as desired.
This benefit also includes out-of-network dental coverage. You have the freedom to see any dentist that accepts Medicare, even if they’re not in the UnitedHealthcare Dental network. However, services received out of network may have a higher cost, and you may exceed your plan’s annual maximum sooner.
If you still have questions about your dental benefit or need help finding a network provider, please call the customer service phone number on your member ID card.
Thank you for being a Peoples Health member!
