Every week we are asked," does Medicare cover dentistry?". The answer is no. Medicare is medical insurance, not dental insurance. Like other medical insurance it does not cover, eyes, ears or teeth. Besides Dental advantage plans like those mentioned in this article, another way to get coverage for teeth, ears and eyes is their through the ACA exchange- like covered California, the AARP or USAA. I hope this article helps our patients make informed decisions about the coverage that fits their needs.
