Independent Agent & Medicare Supplement Specialist, reMEDIGAP, USA
Unfortunately, Medigap does not cover routine dental examinations. Although Medigap Plans are designed to fill the gaps in Original Medicare, they will only pay for Medicare-covered services.
Routine dental care is not covered under Original Medicare; therefore, it is also not covered by Medigap (Medicare Supplement insurance). Medicare will only pay for dental services that are an integral part of a Medicare covered procedure. Some exceptions include, reconstruction of the jaw following accidental injury, or extractions done in preparation for radiation treatment involving the jaw.
Medicare Beneficiaries often purchase a separate dental plan to meet their individual needs. If I can help you with your specific situation, please feel free to contact me.
