Adding Dental And Vision Care To Your Medicare Plan
Regular eye exams and teeth cleanings can help you stay healthy by catching issues and illnesses early. However, Original Medicare‡ does not cover routine dental and vision care. This means you’ll have to pay out of pocket for routine teeth cleanings and eye exams, as well as more costly procedures and services.
Enhance Your Medicare Advantage Plan With Dental And Vision
While most Medicare Advantage plans cover preventive dental care like teeth cleanings and exams, as well as vision care with eye exams and eyewear allowances, sometimes that’s not enough.
If you need crowns or dental repair work, or if you have special eyewear needs, your out-of-pocket costs could add up.
You might want to consider adding more coverage with these optional benefits.
