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.

• 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:
