Orthodontic Support with the 60+ Plan
Q: Does the 60+ Plan cover orthodontic treatments?
A: The 60+ Plan does not cover orthodontic treatments, as it focuses on preventive, basic, and major restorative dental care.
Tom’s friend, Grace, had been considering orthodontic treatment to correct her alignment and improve her dental health. She wondered if the 60+ Plan would help cover the cost of braces or similar treatments, so she checked with AGA Benefit Solutions.
Grace found out that, unlike the Active Plan, the 60+ Plan does not include coverage for orthodontic treatments, as the plan primarily focuses on preventive, basic, and major restorative dental care. Orthodontics, typically considered an elective or cosmetic treatment, isn’t covered under the 60+ Plan.
Grace appreciated having a clear understanding of her coverage options, allowing her to plan accordingly for any out-of-pocket orthodontic expenses. For Tom, it was a reminder of the importance of checking plan specifics to manage healthcare expectations in retirement.
