Getting dental coverage
Dental coverage is available through Explore Health in two ways: as part of a health plan, or by itself through a separate, stand-alone dental plan.
IMPORTANT: You cannot buy a dental plan through Explore Health unless you are buying a health plan at the same time. Explore Health will ask you to enroll in a health plan before choosing a dental plan.
Dental coverage is available two ways through Explore Health
- Dental coverage is included in some health plans. You can see which plans include dental coverage when you compare them.
- If a health plan includes dental, the premium covers both health and dental coverage.
- Separate, stand-alone dental plans. You can see them after you choose a health plan through Explore Health.
- If you choose a separate dental plan, you will pay a separate premium for your dental coverage. If you enroll in a dental plan offered by the same insurance carrier as your medical plan, you must pay both premiums or your medical coverage may be terminated as well as your dental coverage.
