2021 Optional Supplemental Dental Benefit
BlueShield of Northeastern New York offers two optional supplemental dental benefits:
- Basic Plan
- Enhanced Plan
Either option gives you the freedom to choose your own dentist because there is no contracted dental provider network. With the basic plan, you pay $13 per month. With the enhanced plan, you pay $24 per month. Check out the details for each plan below.
*Dental premium is in addition to plan and Part B premium.
How do you use this benefit?
With no dental network, you can see any dentist you choose. Schedule your dental appointment and pay the provider in full at the time of service. Then, submit a Medicare Advantage dental reimbursement form, itemized bill, and paid receipt to BlueShield. You will receive a check for the cost of your covered services minus your coinsurance. You must submit your claim to us within 12 months of the date you received the service.
