Dental coverage that covers more3
Depending on the plan selected, members have the opportunity to either add dental coverage or enhance their dental coverage for an additional premium.
- Saver, Basic, and Value plans—Include $1,000 supplemental dental benefit that covers preventive and basic services. Plus, for an additional monthly premium of $19.50, you can upgrade to the Tufts Health Plan Medicare Preferred Dental Option to enhance the included dental coverage by reducing cost share on basic services and adding coverage for major services.
- Prime and Prime Rx Plus plans—Do not include supplemental dental coverage, but you may add $1,000 of dental coverage for preventive, basic, and major dental services for an additional $31 monthly premium.
- Smart Saver Rx plan—Includes $1,500 of supplemental dental coverage for preventive, basic, and major dental services.
