Medicare Dental Coverage in Louisiana

Because dental care isn’t covered under Medicare Parts A & B, supplemental insurance may be needed to help you with the cost of dentist visits and common treatments. However, when you look for Medicare dental coverage in Louisiana, you could find it difficult to get the right plan at a rate that works within your budget. HealthMarkets can help you find a dental plan that meets your needs.

Your Louisiana Dental Options

One way for Original Medicare recipients to get dental coverage is to switch to a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan during the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP). Many Medicare Advantage plans include dental coverage. Another choice is to purchase a separate stand-alone dental plan from a private insurance company.

A third option is a dental discount plan. It’s not insurance, but a discount plan can help reduce your dental bill by 5 to 60 percent, depending on the procedure. 

A HealthMarkets licensed insurance agent would be happy to help you review the options above, listen to your needs, and make sure you get the dental coverage that’s best for you.
