Hey all. I am new to the forums and I have a question about dental plans.
I have a lot of work that needs to be done such as fillings. My primary insurance is Capital Blue Cross (a Medicare Advantage Plan) and Medicaid is secondary. My dentist is in network with my primary insurance. However, they are not in network with Medicaid or any HMO plans. My plan with Capital Blue Cross is a PPO plan which is fine. My Capital Blue covers 50% of work with a $2,000 maximum. I am going to need a good amount of appointments with copayments for each appointment. I am not going to have that kind of money because it's going to add up. I was thinking if I get a standalone dental plan as secondary, would I need to pay anything out of pocket? I talked with Medicaid earlier in the day and asked if I can submit claims to them for reimbursement. They said I cannot. Only one of their providers can submit claims.
Thanks!
