Aetna Coverage Availability & Fees
Aetna offers a number of different dental insurance plans. You should check the details of your unique policy to find out how it might apply in any given situation. In the meantime, here is an overview of how most standard PPO plans work:
- Preventive care, including cleanings, checkups, and routine X-rays: 100% covered.
- Minor services, such as fillings and simple extractions: Up to 80% covered.
- Major services, including crowns and some types of oral surgery: Around 50% covered.
Your plan may also have a waiting period before you are eligible for certain services, a deductible, and an annual maximum (a yearly limit on how much Aetna will pay for approved treatments). Because our practice is in-network with Aetna, we are familiar with the nuances of how their plans work. We can suggest strategies to help you minimize your out-of-pocket costs. For example, we can sometimes schedule major treatments across calendar years so you can use two annual maximums rather than one.
For Medicare patients: If you are over 65 years of age or have certain disabilities, you may qualify for a Medicare Advantage plan from Aetna. Some such plans include, not just basic medical coverage, but dental benefits as well. Your coverage may be different than what is generally available with standard plans. Our team will be happy to help you understand what is covered and how much you will need to pay out of pocket.
