From ADA:
As Medicare Advantage dental coverage continues to grow, the ADA is highlighting current data around supplemental dental benefits for both dentists and patients. 8% of Medicare Advantage television ads highlight Medicare Advantage dental coverage, yet only 8% of plans across the United States offered comprehensive dental benefits.
While seniors choose from 35 plans on average per county, only one or two plans offer comprehensive dental benefits. Additionally, the variation of plans and changes to benefits from year-to-year create undue administrative burden on dental offices while shortchanging coverage for patients.
The ADA has created this PDF infographic to identify current gaps in perception of MA coverage, ascertain what’s gone wrong with these plans, and to briefly address their legislative and administrative plans to address these issues.
