- Going to the dentist is just
a part of life in order to have healthy teeth.
But today the cost of dental care can put
a serious drain on your wallet.
However, there may be a way you can save money
on those dental costs if you have Medicare.
Now to tell us how is our friend,
Andromada Dewberry,
a licensed insurance agent,
and spokesperson for Medicareadvantage.com.
So welcome back.
- Thank you.
- Let's just get straight to it.
How can people with Medicare get affordable dental care?
- Well, it's nice to be back,
Dr. Phil,
they just need a Medicare advantage plan,
also known as Medicare part C,
that offers dental benefits.
These plans may cover dental services such
as dentures,
cleanings, x-rays,
extractions, crowns,
root canals and implants
- But you gotta have 'em right?
- [Andromada] Right.
- Do these plans only cover dental care?
- No and that's the best part,
Dr. Phil.
I like to think of Medicare advantage
as an all in one health insurance plan.
It's an affordable plan
that covers the healthcare you want and need
with just one card.
It covers all of the same part A
and B services you get with original Medicare.
And it may also include extra benefits,
like prescription drug coverage,
hearing care with free hearing aids
and vision care with free eye glasses.
- Okay, do these plans cover any other benefits?
- They do.
Some plans offer allowances for
over the counter health related items
and healthy food at the grocery store.
There may be free transportation
to doctor's visits,
free gym memberships,
24/7 nurse help lines
and even a personal emergency on system.
Many of the extra benefits are provided
by the plan for no additional cost.
There's truly no other Medicare option
out there for people
who want a plan that addresses their total health
while helping them stay on a budget.
- Well, that sounds great.
Tell me who is eligible
for one of these plans?
- Well, it's anyone that either has Medicare
and a special enrollment period,
or will join Medicare soon.
They may be eligible for
a Medicare advantage plan.
- So for anyone on a tight budget
who may be concerned about cost,
it's always a factor, right?
So how much are these plans?
- Well, Medicare advantage plans are affordable.
You may have access to plans
with $0 monthly premiums,
$0 deductibles,
or even $0 copays for common services.
A recent report found that people
with Medicare advantage plans saved
an average of almost $1,600 a year
when compared to people who stayed
on just original Medicare parts A and B.
