Original Medicare doesn't cover routine dental or vision care. These standalone plans — or built-in Advantage benefits — fill that gap for beneficiaries and families alike.
Dental coverage
Dental plans typically cover routine cleanings and exams at little to no cost, with cost-sharing for fillings, extractions, and more involved procedures like crowns or dentures.
Vision coverage
Vision plans typically include an annual eye exam plus an allowance toward glasses or contact lenses — helpful for anyone managing age-related vision changes or diabetic eye care needs.
Two ways to get it
Purchased separately from your health or Medicare coverage. A good fit if you're on Original Medicare with a Supplement, or want coverage independent of your health plan.
Many Medicare Advantage plans include dental and vision benefits as part of the package — worth comparing against a standalone plan's coverage limits.
