Dental – Vision – Hearing
Dental, vision, and hearing coverage are not just extra benefits — they help protect your health, independence, confidence, and daily quality of life. Many use these benefits regularly, sometimes more often than hospital coverage. There are generally two common ways to obtain dental, vision, or hearing coverage; either through a Medicare Advantage Plan as many plans include these extra benefits as part of the package or through Original Medicare and purchase separate as a standalone plan.
Dental
As we get older, dental care becomes even more important. Without dental coverage, common services can become expensive. Depending on the plan, coverage may help with:
- Preventive cleanings
- Exams
- X-rays
- Basic dental work
- Major services
- Dentures
- Sometimes implants
Vision
Vision changes naturally as we age. Depending on the plan, benefits may help pay for:
- Routine eye exams
- Eyeglasses
- Contact lenses
- Frames
- Lens upgrade
Hearing
This is one of the most overlooked areas for seniors. Many people slowly develop hearing loss without realizing how much it affects daily life. Many seniors are shocked to learn hearing aids can cost thousands of dollars. Depending on the plan, benefits may help with:
- Hearing exams
- Hearing aid fittings
- Hearing aid allowances
- Discounts on hearing devices
