Dental Coverage Options for Older New Yorkers
Updated December 2018
Cost is a significant barrier to accessing and obtaining quality dental care for nearly 50 percent of older
adults,
i
but oftentimes, the barrier can be mitigated with knowledge of available coverage options.
However, it can be a challenge to find the right coverage when there are many different types of
insurances and discounted or free dental services in the New York City. This brief aims to provide an
overview of the different types and ways to obtain coverage for dental services available to older New
Yorkers.
I. Insurance Options
Traditional Medicare
Almost 3.7 million New Yorkers have health insurance coverage through Medicare – a federal
program for adults aged 65 and older. Sixty percent of Medicare recipients have what is known as
“traditional” Medicare coverage as opposed to Medicare Part C or Medicare Advantage (July 2018).
ii
In general, adults are entitled to Medicare Part A (for hospital/inpatient services) if they have worked
at least 10 years paying Medicare taxes and already receive or are eligible for retirement benefits from
Social Security/Railroad Retirement Board; individuals can also qualify through their spouse’s
Medicare-covered employment or by paying a premium for Part A. In addition, individuals can choose
to pay a monthly premium for Part B (for medical –doctor and outpatient— services). Despite it being
a primary source of healthcare for older adults, traditional Medicare provides very limited dental care
coverage. Medicare does not cover dental procedures regarding the “care, treatment, filling, removal,
or replacement of teeth or structures directly supporting the teeth” (i.e. anesthesia or diagnostic x-
rays) unless they are performed in connection with a covered primary procedure (i.e. fracture of the
jaw or facial bone).
iii
Some examples of covered services include the extraction of teeth to prepare the
jaw for radiation treatment of cancer, a dental examination before renal transplant, or heart valve
replacement. In addition, while the extraction of teeth may result in the need for dentures, Medicare
will not pay for dentures.
Medicare Part C or Medicare Advantage
Approximately 1.4 million New Yorkers
iv
are covered by Medicare Part C, also known as Medicare
Advantage, in lieu of the traditional program, which allows beneficiaries to have their care managed
through private health insurance plans. Medicare Advantage (MA) plans must provide traditional
Medicare A and B services. In addition, many MA plans choose to cover additional healthcare benefits
such as eye exams, hearing exams, or dental services; dental coverage may include oral exams, cleaning,
fluoride treatments, and x-rays at no extra cost. Some plans offer additional comprehensive dental
services, such as extractions and cosmetic procedures, for an additional monthly premium or a rider
service. Prior to a senior taking advantage of a rider service, it is recommended that they obtain a
written advance coverage decision from the plan to ensure a service is medically necessary and will be
covered.
v
(The federal Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently announced flexibility
in its definition of health-related supplemental benefits—expanding to include services such as non-
emergency medical transportation, healthy groceries, and hearing-aids—which may result in MA plans
increasing coverage options to other dental services as well.

Mainstream Medicaid (Fee-for-Service)
viii
,
ix
,
x
Roughly 6.5 million New Yorkers are enrolled in Medicaid, with approximately 32 percent in the
mainstream fee-for-service (FFS) program.
xi
The New York State Medicaid Program – which provides
health insurance coverage for low-income individuals, families, children, pregnant women, elderly, and
people with disabilities – offers limited coverage of only essential, but not comprehensive, dental care.
Individuals with mainstream Medicaid are not required to pay a premium for their insurance, and do
not have co-pays for services provided at a dentist (e.g., x-rays).
According to New York State regulations (§18 CRR-NY 506.2)
xii
, dental care covered under Medicaid
only includes “preventive, prophylactic and other routine dental care, services and supplies, and dental
prosthetic and orthodontic appliances required to alleviate a serious health condition.”
Examples of
covered services include emergency care, acute infection, and extraction of infected or non-restorable
teeth. Although services are covered, there is a limit to the number of times a member can receive
the service in a year. Dental prophylaxis and oral exams will be covered once per six month period.
In addition, effective November 12, 2018, dentures may be replaced prior to eight years after initial
placement, and dental implants will be covered, assuming prior approval and supporting
documentation (i.e. letters, x-rays) have been obtained from both the dentist and primary care
physicians to explain the medical necessity.
Medicaid Managed Care (MMC)
xiii
Of the 6.5 million New Yorkers enrolled in Medicaid, about 68 percent are enrolled in Medicaid
Managed Care, which allows beneficiaries to have their care managed through private health insurance
plans such as Healthfirst, Aetna, and Empire BlueCross BlueShield.
xiv
These health plans usually
require enrollees to access care through their own network of providers and often contract with other
vendors (e.g., Healthplex or Dentaquest) to administer their dental benefit. Since 2012, all Medicaid-
covered dental services are also covered by Medicaid managed care programs.
xv
As with regular
Medicaid, there is no monthly premium, although an individual may have a co-pay that is paid directly
to the provider at the time of service. Depending on the plan, some services may require prior
approval and documentation before care can be received.

Medicaid Managed Long Term Care (MLTC)
xvi
,
xvii
Medicaid Managed Long Term Care (MLTC) plans are specifically designed to meet the needs of
chronically ill and/or disabled individuals who require long term care services and supports (e.g., daily
assistance from a home health aide). In addition to traditional Medicaid services, the plans cover long
term care supports and services. MLTC enrollment is mandatory for residents of NYC who are eligible
for both Medicaid and Medicare (dual eligible), over 21 years old, and need community based long-
term care services for more than 120 days. There are over 220,000 New Yorkers statewide enrolled in
an MLTC plan.
xviii
In order to qualify for enrollment in an MLTC plan, individuals must contact the
Conflict-Free Evaluation and Enrollment Center (CFEEC), which will conduct an evaluation. The
evaluation conducted by a registered nurse determines an individual’s functional status and whether
the need for long-term care is at least 120 days. Evaluations by the CFEEC can be scheduled by
calling the following number: 855.222.8350.
xix
In New York State, there are four types of MLTC plans differing in terms of Medicare, Medicaid, and
dental coverage. Differences in the types of MLTC plans are shown below. For specific plan details,
refer to Appendix I.

Private Insurance
xxv
,
xxvi
There are multiple ways to purchase private insurance, including online through the New York State
of Health (the state’s official health plan marketplace) or off the Marketplace (with a broker or directly
through the insurance plan). Health plans are available for purchase during the open enrollment
period, which can differ by year. Open enrollment generally begins every November and New York
State has in the past extended the enrollment deadline to end January 31st of the next year. During
the open enrollment period, consumers can call the customer service center at 1-855-355-5777, log
into the website https://nystateofhealth.ny.gov, or meet with an in-person assistor.
xxvii
An in-person
assistor or navigator can help with the application process by “providing assistance in multiple
languages, in community based settings during non-traditional hours such as evenings and weekends.”
Consumers have the option of purchasing their dental insurance along with their medical insurance
under the same insurer or purchasing it separately. As of 2018, eight stand-alone dental plans were
offered through the New York State of Health; many of these stand-alone plans often contract with
other health insurance plans to coordinate and administer dental benefits as well. Refer to Appendix
III for additional details.
AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) Plus
xxviii
,
xxix
The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program was authorized in 1990 to support uninsured or underinsured
people living with HIV. This federally-funded program serves approximately 52% of HIV-infected
individuals in the United States, and is separated into five parts funding various medical and essential
support services: Part A, Part B, Part C, Part D, and Part F. Part B funds the AIDS Drug Assistance
Program to provide FDA-approved medications, while Part F funds dental programs that aim to
expand access to oral health care to the community. In addition, the NYSDOH AIDS Institute
developed the ADAP Plus program, which “provides free primary care services at selected clinics,
hospital outpatient departments, office-based physicians, and lab vendors”, including dental services.
The eligibility criteria for this program include: New York State residency and HIV-infected status (or
at-risk of HIV infection according to the New York State Guidelines for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis
xxx
).
Eligible patients must earn less than 435% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) and cannot have liquid
assets greater than $25,000. Individuals enrolled in Medicaid are not eligible, although it is available
for individuals awaiting Medicaid eligibility determination or who have Medicaid spenddown
requirements.
Dental services covered under ADAP Plus include dental and oral surgery visits; but they are limited
to thirty per treatment year and only cover limited preventative services (not specified). To learn about
more resources, call the New York State HIV/AIDS Information Hotline 1-800-541-2437 or the New
York State HIV Counseling Hotline 1-800-872-2777.
NYSDOH assembles a list of dental providers who accept ADAP Plus

II. Discounted or Free Dental Care
Dental Savings Plans
xxxiii
Dental savings or dental discount plans offer members access to a network of dentists at discounted
rates, ranging from 10-60% off of usual pricing with discounts ranging per plan. Members pay a
monthly or annual fee to receive discounts to visit a dentist within the network. Individuals can sign
up to be members of dental savings plans on their own, or can take advantage of them if their private
health insurance plan (e.g., Aetna or Cigna) offers their own dental discount plan directly. These
discount plans are not insurances: there are no fee schedules, “spending caps, exclusions for pre-
existing conditions, or waiting periods”.
xxxiv
That means that costs for dental services are dependent
on the location of the dentist and the office itself. Although there is no copay, members are required
to pay for the services at the time of service unless they have made another arrangement with their
dentist.
Dental Lifeline Network
xxxv
The Dental Lifeline Network provides free, comprehensive dental treatment to patients. Patients are
referred to volunteer dentists who determine the treatment plan. The goal is for the patient to be
pain-free and able to eat properly. To be eligible, applicants must lack adequate income to pay for
dental care and be 65 years or older, have a permanent disability, or qualify as medically fragile. There
is no income limit to receive help: each application will be individually reviewed for financial need.
Currently, there is a long wait list, but applications are accepted within each county and can be found
on the website (https://dentallifeline.org/new-york/) or by calling the following toll free number:
888.235.5826.
Federally Qualified Health Centers
xxxvi
,
xxxvii
,
xxxviii
Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are places where underinsured or uninsured patients can
receive comprehensive services such as preventive health services, mental health and substance abuse
services, and transportation services at a lower cost. FQHCs offer a sliding fee scale that allows
patients to pay according to their income. FQHCs may include community health centers, migrant
health centers, and health care for the homeless; some community health centers may even offer dental
services free of charge. For your convenience, the Health Resources and Services Administration has
a FQHC locator: https://findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov/.
There are over a hundred low-cost dental clinics including FQHCs located in the five boroughs of
New York City. All clinics provide general dentistry, including routine and preventive procedures
(such as exams and cleanings), and some even provide specialty services (such as cosmetic surgery,
oral surgery, and prosthodontics). Each clinic varies in the insurance plan they accept, but all clinics
offer a reduced fee or sliding fee scale for individuals with financial need. To learn more about the
insurances accepted and associated fees, refer to the Appendix for additional details by borough. The
New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) also lists low-cost dental
providers by borough, and have designated which providers serve the elderly and patients with special
needs.

Academic Dental Clinics
xl
Many dental schools and dental hygiene schools offer low-cost care from their respective students;
students are supervised by faculty while providing care to patients. Clinics must be licensed under
Article 28 of the New York Public Health Law. More information about these schools can be found
through the American Dental Association

Advancing medical knowledge requires research and clinical trials for researchers to test hypotheses
involving new drugs, new medical procedures, or improving existing treatment protocols. Clinical
trials can be publicly-funded by the government, privately-funded by pharmaceutical companies, or
receive funds from multiple sources. Some trials may need volunteers to perform certain dental
procedures such as extractions or implants. Not every volunteer will be accepted, as it often depends
on the trial’s inclusion criteria or information researchers are seeking. In many cases, the dental
procedures will be free of charge but the volunteer will be required to make a follow-up visit to provide
information. Clinical trials are often listed on government websites.
