How do I find a dentist that accepts Medicare?
Visit the Aetna Medicare website and follow the “Find a Doctor, Dentist, or Hospital” link for their online directory of participating providers. Locating nearby dentists that take a Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) Medicare Advantage plan includes another twist.
Do local dentists accept Medicare Parts A and B?
Identifying local dentists that accept Medicare Parts A or B is only half the battle because CMS rules explicitly exclude “services in connection with the care, treatment, filling, removal, or replacement of teeth or structures directly supporting teeth.” [1]
Will Medicare pay for a dentist who opts out?
Typically, Medicare does not pay claims for covered services to providers who opt out of the program. However, CMS suspends this rule during emergencies, meaning you can choose any dentist with immediate availability. [2]
Does Medicare cover dental work?
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) states that Parts A and B rarely cover dental work except under narrowly defined circumstances when delivered by specific types of providers.
