How Do I Find a Dentist That Takes My Insurance?
The specific dental benefits and costs included in your plan will vary depending on which type of UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plan you have.
Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) Plans
A Medicare HMO plan generally limits you to the plan network of health care providers, which may include dentists.
Non-emergency dental care received outside of the plan network will typically not be covered under the plan.
Where to search for a dentist: Start by looking in the network associated with your plan.
Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) or Point of Service (POS) Plans
If you have a Medicare PPO or a Medicare POS plan that offers dental coverage, you may be able to visit a dentist outside the plan network. However, your out-of-pocket costs may be lower if you visit a dentist in your plan provider network.
Where to search for a dentist: First look for a dentist in your UnitedHealthcare plan network. If a dentist you prefer is outside of the network, check with your plan to see how much your services may cost.
Private Fee-for-Service (PFFS) Plans
Medicare PFFS plans that provide dental coverage typically do not have a defined network of dentists. Members are free to seek out care from any provider, as long as that provider accepts the terms and conditions of the plan.
Where to search for a dentist: Depending on your plan, you may be able to visit any dentist you wish. Before scheduling an appointment, find out if they accept the terms and conditions of your UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plan.
