Aetna Medicare Advantage Plans Dental Coverage

Many of the Aetna Medicare Advantage Plans offer optional dental benefits for an affordable additional premium. Two kinds of dental plans are offered:

• The Aetna Medicare Preventive Dental Plan and

• The Aetna Medicare Advantage Dental Plan

You may receive covered dental services when you select a participating primary care dentist.

Both plans include oral and emergency exams, cleaning and oral hygiene consultation. The Advantage Dental Plan adds benefits such as X-rays, restorative care like retention pins, fillings, or minor denture adjustments, and periodontic care such as scaling and root planning.

Other dental care services are partially covered for a reduced fee such as oral surgery, crowns, bridges or dentures.

Attention: when you are enrolled in a Aetna Medicare Advantage HMO plan, services received out of network are not covered. For Aetna Medicare Advantage PPO members a 50% coinsurance coverage applies for out of network services. So make sure your dentist participates in Aetna Preventive or Advantage Dental Plans program.
