Dental Benefit

More smiles than Original Medicare.

Original Medicare doesn't cover routine dental care. Peoples Health does.

What’s included?

All Peoples Health plans include a routine dental benefit provided by UnitedHealthcare Dental. It covers preventive and diagnostic dental care, such as exams, routine cleanings, X-rays and fluoride, for a $0 copay.

Most plans also cover comprehensive dental services, including root canals, extractions and dentures. Some plans only cover comprehensive dental services through an optional Platinum Dental Rider for a monthly premium.

All Peoples Health plans offer both in-network and out-of-network dental coverage, although services received out-of-network may have a higher member cost.
