Reminder, Medicare-covered dental and vision services are generally for situations where the medical condition is caused by injury and illness. Medicare does NOT cover age-related loss of teeth and/or vision. Since most Medigap and Original Medicare do not cover non-Medicare covered or routine dental/vision costs, there are standalone Dental and Vision plans available for that.
Budgeting for vision/dental care can be a challenge. The price of vision/dental procedures can vary for many reasons, including where you live and if you have access to your plan’s network. Plus, the type of insurance you have (or don’t have) can affect how much you pay out of pocket.
If you’re looking to save money on vision/dental care, insurance can help. There are a broad range of insurance plans with varying levels of coverage, many with low monthly premiums. Some plans also feature no waiting periods, which means you could get covered in about 5 days.
