Aetna Coverage Availability & Fees
For individuals and families alike, Aetna is an incredibly helpful and comprehensive coverage plan that can help you meet your dental needs. After paying your monthly premiums, you’ll be able to make the most of reduced rates for common dental procedures. Every insurance plan will be different, but here’s what you can expect from most coverage policies:
- 100% coverage for preventive treatments (checkups and cleanings, X-rays, etc.)
- 80% coverage for minor restorative services (tooth-colored fillings, etc.)
- 50% coverage for major restorative procedures (dental crowns, root canals, tooth extractions, etc.)
With Aetna dental insurance, patients are able to utilize their benefits to focus on preventive treatment, allowing them to avoid mild oral health issues like gum disease and tooth decay that can potentially worsen over time. Some studies even show that, with this dental coverage plan, patients can save about $50 on restorative and emergency fees for every $1 spent on preventive services. By being ahead of the curve with your oral health, you’ll reduce the chances of needing more costly procedures down the road.
Once you’ve met your deductible, you’ll be able to use your yearly allowance to minimize your expenses for most typical restorative services, including fillings, root canals, and gum disease treatment. That said, any amount that you haven’t used before the very end of the year will not carry over, so it’s always best to make the most of your coverage plan before January 1st. Also, patients are never obligated to visit a dentist who’s in-network with Aetna, but it’s important to know that visiting out-of-network professionals might require you to pay a little more.
