Why Offer Ameritas Dental Plans

Why Offer Ameritas Dental Plans

By Ed Crowe | General Articles | 0 comment | 16 February, 2026 | 0

Why offer Ameritas dental plans

Why offer Ameritas dental plans; because, dental and vision coverage remain two of the most common gaps left by Medicare. Original Medicare does not cover dental or vision except in limited, medically approved circumstances. Many Medicare Advantage plans have scaled back these benefits and only offer basic coverage. That’s why beneficiaries often look to their agents for affordable, flexible standalone options. Ameritas Dental and Vision delivers the extra value clients are looking for and the flexibility that makes these plans an easy choice.

Day one coverage with real value

Ameritas PrimeStar individual dental and vision insurance plans provide next-day coverage, allowing clients to use benefits as soon as they need them. This immediate access is a major selling point for Medicare beneficiaries who don’t want to wait months for care.

Clients can get the coverage they need and discover the benefits and affordability of having a dental and vision plan today, all through a simple, hassle-free online enrollment process.

Easily add vision benefits

Ameritas PrimeStar plans may include valuable features such as:

  • In-network as well as out of network coverage – Freedom to visit any dentist, with greater savings in-network
  • Preventive Plus covered procedures are not deducted from plan’s maximum dental benefit
  • Dental implant coverage
  • Teeth whitening benefits
  • Child orthodontia options
  • 25–50% in-network savings

Please note; benefits vary by plan. It is important to check plan benefits to verify coverage.

To complete the package; add vision coverage that allows clients to choose a plan and vision network that fits their needs, including access to VSP Vision Care and Eyemed, two of the largest vision networks in the country. Vision benefits may include:

  • Eye exam benefits
  • Glasses or contact lens frequency options
  • Hearing benefits on select plans

Essential Engine: Helping Medicare Agents Stand Out

In today’s Medicare market, agents need to offer more than just the best plans; they need to build long term relationships. Because beneficiaries expect ongoing, meaningful communication, consistent visibility and trust-building have never been more important. In this post, we discuss the value of Essential Engine to your business and how it can help you maintian your book of business and bring in more leads.

Essential Engine serves professionals across the United States. Although they have experience supporting many industries, their relationship-driven approach is a great fit for Medicare agents and agencies.

The Value of Essential Engine – A Relationship-First Marketing Strategy

Essential Engine offers a simple, integrated marketing approach designed to nurture long-term relationships without adding more work to an agent’s plate. This includes:

  • A personalized, bi-monthly Retiring Well magazine mailed directly to clients and prospects
  • Branded postcards that reinforce key messages, seasonal touchpoints, and referral requests
  • Done-for-you social media and digital content to keep agents visible between appointments

Unlike digital ads or one-off emails that are easily ignored, physical magazines are read and re-read by entire households. This creates repeated exposure and conversation. The content focuses on retirement lifestyle topics such as travel, wellness, leisure, and financial confidence. This allows agents to build trust without “selling” in every interaction.
