All MVP Medicare Advantage plans include coverage for preventive dental services. Some plans cover additional comprehensive dental benefits, or you can add even more dental coverage to meet your needs with the Optional Supplemental Dental Rider.
Dental Benefit Highlights
You will receive a separate dental ID card – show this card when you receive dental services. You can choose to go to any dentist, but generally your costs will be lower if you go to a DenteMax Medicare dentist.
All plans cover two exams, two cleanings, and two sets of x-rays per calendar year.
Preferred Gold with Part D, Preferred Gold without Part D, and WellSelect Plus members also have coverage for additional comprehensive dental services.

DenteMax Network
- You can choose to go to any dentist. As part of your dental benefit, you also have access to the DenteMax Medicare dentist network.
- Generally, your costs will be lower if you are treated by a DenteMax Medicare dentist. DenteMax Medicare dentists accept the maximum allowable benefit amount per service as payment in full. You will not be billed for additional costs for dental services covered by the plan.
- If you choose to go to any other dentist, you may pay more. The dentist can bill you for additional costs if what they charge is more than the maximum benefit amount for preventative services covered by the plan.

Dental Benefit Details
- The amount MVP pays for covered services is based on the maximum allowable benefit amount for each service. If your dentist charges more than the maximum allowable benefit for a service, you may be billed for the difference.
- You are responsible for 100% of all charges that exceed the maximum allowable benefit amount, any services provided after your annual allowance is met, any dental services not covered under this benefit, or costs for services once your plan’s annual benefit amount is reached.
-
No unused portion of your annual benefit amount can be carried over to the next calendar year. See your Evidence of Coverage or plan Riders for more details. If your coverage is through a former employer who has purchased additional dental coverage, see your plan Riders or contact your group for more information about your dental benefit coverage.
