Maintain a Healthy Smile with Preventive Care
Q: Does the 60+ Plan cover preventive dental care?
A: The 60+ Plan covers preventive dental care, including cleanings, exams, and X-rays, with reimbursement based on accumulated hours.
Tom’s friend, Paul, always made it a priority to schedule regular dental check-ups to maintain his oral health. As a retiree enrolled in the 60+ Plan, he wondered if his routine cleanings and exams would still be covered.
Paul discovered that the 60+ Plan includes coverage for preventive dental care, such as cleanings, exams, and X-rays, based on the current BC dental fee guide. These services are reimbursed according to the total number of eligible hours Paul has reported with IATSE Local 891:
20,000–29,999 hours: 30% reimbursement
30,000–39,999 hours: 40% reimbursement
40,000–49,999 hours: 50% reimbursement
50,000–59,999 hours: 60% reimbursement
60,000+ hours: 70% reimbursement
Reassured by the clarity, Paul booked his next dental visit, confident that the plan would help cover a meaningful portion of the cost. For Tom, it was another reminder that the 60+ Plan offers more than just essential health coverage—it actively supports retirees in maintaining their long-term well-being.
