Medicare doesn’t cover most dental care, dental procedures, or supplies, like cleanings, fillings, tooth extractions, dentures, dental plates, or other dental devices. Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) will pay for certain dental services that you get when you’re in a hospital.
With Kaiser Permanente’s Medicare Advantage plans, you get Parts A and B, plus Part D prescription drug coverage , and additional optional benefits, such as vision, dental, and hearing. We offer hospital care, medical services, and prescription drug coverage , all in one plan.
* Your dental plan is underwritten by Kaiser Permanente Insurance Company (KPIC), a subsidiary of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan , Inc., and administered by Delta Dental of California . For more information call Delta Dental at 1-888-335-8227 (toll free).
Key Takeaways. Dental insurance purchased individually, as opposed to participation in an employer-sponsored group plan, isn’t always worth the cost. The coverage usually has an annual maximum limit and certain procedures have hefty coinsurance payments.
∎ Your parents may be eligible if you are an active employee and eligible for, but not necessarily enrolled in, KFHP coverage . You may have the opportunity to enroll your parents , stepparents, parents -in-law, or parents of your domestic partner in Kaiser Permanente medical coverage .
