Dental Benefits Included With All Plans
Dental care is key to your overall health. And dental coverage is something you want in your Medicare plan. That’s why MVP Medicare Advantage plans offer dental benefits to meet your needs.
All of our plans include coverage for preventive dental services. This includes up to two routine exams, cleanings, and sets of X-rays each year. Some plans cover additional comprehensive dental benefits, like fillings, root canals, crowns, and more. If your plan doesn’t include these additional benefits, you can add comprehensive dental coverage to take care of your smile with our Additional Dental Rider (see below).
Dental Benefit Highlights
All MVP Medicare Advantage plans cover two exams, two cleanings, and two sets of X-rays per calendar year.
You will receive a separate dental ID card for your dental plan. Show this card when you receive dental services. You can choose to go to any dentist, but your costs generally will be lower if you go to a DenteMax Medicare dentist.
Sign into your Member online account, and then click or tap My Benefits, then Member Guide (.PDF) to find your Evidence of Coverage for more information about benefit coverage and charges.
DenteMax Network
Generally, your costs will be lower if a DenteMax Medicare dentist treats you. 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 another dentist, you may pay more. Dentists outside of the DenteMax network can bill you for additional costs if what they charge is more than the maximum benefit amount for preventive services the plan covers.

Dental Benefit Details
The amount MVP pays a dentist 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, we may bill you for the difference.
You are responsible for:
- 100% of all charges that exceed the maximum allowable benefit amount
- Any services provided after you meet your annual allowance
- Any dental services this benefit doesn’t cover
- Costs for services once you reach your plan’s annual benefit amount
You can’t carry over any unused part of your annual benefit amount to the next calendar year. Sign into your Member online account to view 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.
