Susan in TN Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Are there low cost/good value dental plans available for seniors? My in-laws (80yo and pretty much broke) are planning to spend thousands on dental work (paritial bridge, a couple other things) and make payments or put the bills on credit cards because it's not covered by medicare and they say to get a private plan would cost them $300 per month. A brief search online brought up several low-cost plans for seniors, but I'm wondering if they are really a decent value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 My mom has Humana Advantage which is a Medicare Advantage plan. She pays an extra $20 a month for dental insurance, but i don't know how much it covers. At least that is how she described it to me. She also told me you can only change to Medicare Advantage once a year and she thinks the date has just passed. She said it would depend on the cost as to whether or not to pay the $300 insurance. The work would obviously have to save them over $3600 in order for the insurance to have been worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
