5 questions about dental coverage in the Marketplace

https://goo.gl/nYf8Ub

  1. Can I get dental coverage through the Marketplace? In the Marketplace, dental coverage is included in some health plans. You can also get a stand-alone plan and pay a separate premium.

  2. How do I add dental coverage to my Marketplace plan? You can buy a dental plan through the federal Marketplace only when you enroll in a health plan at the same time. If you’re already enrolled in a Marketplace plan, you can’t add on dental coverage. You have to wait until the next Open Enrollment Period to change health plans to one that includes dental coverage or add a stand-alone dental plan. If you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period, you can get dental coverage when you change health plans.

  3. How can I see what dental plans and benefits are available? After you complete your Marketplace application and get your results, you can view health plans that include dental coverage. If you decide you want a stand-alone dental plan, you can choose one after you select your health plan.
