Dental, Vision, Hearing
Dental, vision, and hearing coverage are usually additional benefits that come with Medicare Advantage plans.
Original Medicare can provide coverage, but only under very specific situations. It covers oral examinations during a hospital stay, procedures related to jaw disease treatments, oral cancer, facial tumors, or facial fractures.
Original Medicare may also cover treatments for infections caused by dental procedures. It can also cover eye procedures such as cataract surgery and corrective lenses, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy tests, and cochlear implants.
Dental
While Original Medicare does not cover most dental services, Medicare Advantage includes certain dental services. Medicare Part C covers treatments for dental issues caused by jaw disease or dental procedures. Part C also covers dentures, denture care, fillings, extractions, and routine dental checkups.
Many Medicare Advantage plans cover dental implants, cleanings, x-rays, root canals, pullings, annual exams, and fillings. However, some Part C plans may only cover routine dental services and not major dental services. You may be able to get a dental discount plan instead of a dental insurance plan. Dental discount plans include annual upfront fees instead of monthly premiums.
