What Are Dental, Vision, and Hearing Plans?
Dental, vision, and hearing plans are specialized insurance policies that can be purchased to supplement a Medicare plan. These plans provide coverage for services that are not typically covered by Medicare, such as routine dental exams and cleanings, eye exams and glasses, and hearing exams and hearing aids.
Dental Plans
Dental plans typically provide coverage for routine preventive care, such as exams, cleanings, and x-rays, as well as restorative treatments like fillings, root canals, and extractions. Some plans may also provide coverage for more advanced procedures like bridges, dentures, and dental implants.
Vision Plans
Vision plans typically cover routine eye exams, as well as the cost of prescription glasses or contact lenses. Some plans may also provide coverage for more advanced procedures, such as LASIK or cataract surgery.
Hearing Plans
Hearing plans provide coverage for hearing exams, as well as the cost of hearing aids and related accessories. Some plans may also provide coverage for more advanced procedures, such as cochlear implants.
