According to the American Dental Association, dental disease and discomfort are frequently overlooked reasons for employee absences and poor work performance.
Good oral health, achieved in part by regular dental check ups, can help keep employees at work and away from cavities, gingivitis and other serious infections. Smile … Anthem’s dental plans cover a wide range of important dental services, all while controlling costs.
Anthem offers both a Dental PPO and a DHMO for you to choose from.
Our New Dental Blue® PPO product offering is based on a three-tier network that offers employers the opportunity to balance access and affordability at multiple price points. Dental Blue contracted dentists are credentialed providers. And, our contracted specialists — like oral surgeons and periodontists — participate in all three Dental Blue networks. View the Dental Blue Flash Demo or call your Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield sales representative to learn more about our Dental Blue PPO options for large group and small group. Anthem Dentacare offers the most value for your benefit dollar by using only participating Dentacare centers.
Covered Services — Prevention and Diagnosis
Regardless of the plan you choose, Anthem believes in preventing health problems whenever possible. That's why we encourage you to take advantage of preventive and diagnostic services, such as cleanings, x-rays and oral evaluations.
More Covered Services
Anthem’s dental plans cover various dental procedures that can help you return to good oral health. Depending on your plan design, this may include services related to fillings, root canals, gum disease diagnosis and treatment (periodontal) and extractions*:
Even More Covered Services — Major Dental Concerns
No matter how well you care for your teeth, oral problems sometimes occur. Anthem’s dental plans also offer coverage for serious dental concerns, including emergency treatment, selected oral surgery procedures, crowns, bridges, partials and dentures.
Depending on your company's size and specific plan, your coverage may also include orthodontia services.
Promoting healthy mouths for pregnant and diabetic members
Members who are pregnant or living with diabetes can receive one additional dental cleaning or periodontal maintenance procedure a year**. And we'll also reach out to them with our Future Moms and ConditionCare: Diabetes programs if they are enrolled in the 360° Health® program. These members know how important it is to take care of their bodies and watch what they put in their mouths. But they also need to take extra special care of the mouth itself, which includes the teeth and gums.
