Learn how to enrollWhat is dental insurance?
AmeriHealth dental plans provide coverage for various dental services that you would otherwise have to pay for on your own. All plans include preventive services like routine exams, cleanings, and X-rays. Most plans also include coverage for Basic & Major Services.
How does dental insurance work?
With an AmeriHealth dental plan:
- You pay a monthly premium.
- You have the freedom to see any dentist in or out of network.
- You save the most on out-of-pocket costs by choosing an in-network dentist from the Advantage Plus 2.0 network.
- If you choose to use an out-of-network dentist, you may have to pay the difference between the amount the plan pays, and the amount charged by the out-of-network dentist.
- There may be waiting periods and/or deductibles for certain services, like dentures and crowns.
- You never need a referral for specialist services.
What do dental insurance plans cover?
All AmeriHealth dental plans encourage prevention and treatment of conditions before they become more costly issues. AmeriHealth dental benefits may include coverage for:2
- Preventive services: Exams/evaluations, cleanings, and X-rays. NEW: Enrolled members will be eligible for three cleanings per year.
- Basic services: Fillings, oral surgery, and root canals
- Major services: Crowns, inlays, and dentures
