Supplemental Dental Benefit
In addition to your dental coverage, you may be able to get a supplemental dental benefit as a Blue Cross Community MMAI plan member. This benefit—a $800 allowance—would help pay for dental services that would NOT otherwise be covered by Medicare or Medicaid.
To learn more about dental benefits, see the Member Handbook on the Forms & Documents page.
