Does medicare cover gum disease treatment by a periodontist?
Medicare's dental coverage is limited and typically does not cover routine dental care, such as cleanings, fillings, extractions, or treatment for gum disease. However, there are a few exceptions: Medicare Part A may cover dental services if they are considered medically necessary and are performed in a hospital as part of a larger medical procedure. For example, if you need dental surgery due to a severe infection that affects your overall health, Medicare Part A may provide some coverage. Some Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans offer additional dental coverage as part of their benefits packages. These plans are offered by private insurance companies and may provide coverage for certain dental services, including treatment for gum disease. The specific coverage and costs will vary depending on the plan. Some state Medicaid programs offer dental coverage for low-income individuals, including coverage for gum disease treatment. If you qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid (dual eligibility), you may be able to access dental services through Medicaid. In general, for routine dental care and treatment of gum disease by a periodontist, individuals often need to purchase separate dental insurance or pay for these services out of pocket. It's essential to review your specific Medicare plan or Medicare Advantage plan's benefits to understand what dental services, if any, are covered. Additionally, you can inquire about dental insurance plans that provide coverage for the dental care you need.
