They offer an individual plan that has a huge network. They use the Ameritus network which many dentists accept. The first year it is a 25% benefit, and the second year it is 50 percent benefit. The awesome thing about this plan is that no matter when you join, January of the next year is year 2, which is when the higher benefit applies. It also covers implants as long as the tooth you are replacing is not extracted until the plan is in effect. I purchased the $3500 maximum plan and joined in November, so am now in year 2. Love that all the really good dentists in my area are in network with this plan. It is a great addition to Medicare.
