Dental Allowance Benefit

A dental allowance benefit gives you more freedom when you need dental care.

Get started and find a dentist by contacting Delta Dental at 1-855-830-6583 (TTY: 711).



All SCAN plans provide the medically needed dental services covered by Original Medicare.

Some SCAN plans offer a Dental Allowance Benefit that puts you in the driver’s seat. You have a set amount—an allowance—to spend on dental care for the year. You can see any dentist from the Delta Dental Medicare Advantage/SCAN EPO network, which includes many popular local dentists.

With SCAN’s Dental Allowance Benefit:

  • You pay $0 for all procedures up to your allowance amount
  • There is no waiting period before you can see a dentist
  • Preventive care does not count toward your allowance
  • For other care, reduced rates apply toward your allowance
  • You choose any dentist from the Delta Dental Medicare Advantage/SCAN EPO network

Check your Evidence of Coverage to see exactly what your plan includes.
