Original Medicare doesn’t cover routine eye exams, dental cleanings, or hearing aids. These standalone plans fill those gaps — and they’re more affordable than most people expect.

Why Standalone Plans Matter
While some Medicare Advantage plans include basic dental, vision, and hearing benefits, standalone plans often provide significantly more comprehensive coverage. We help you evaluate whether your current benefits are sufficient or whether a dedicated plan makes more sense.
- • Standalone plans are available even if you have Medicare Advantage
- • Many Advantage plans include basic dental/vision — but limited coverage
- • Dedicated plans often provide significantly better benefits
Questions About Vision, Dental & Hearing
Does Original Medicare cover dental?
No. Original Medicare does not cover routine dental care, eye exams, or hearing aids. You need separate coverage for these services.
Can I get these benefits through Medicare Advantage?
Many Medicare Advantage plans include basic dental, vision, and hearing. However, standalone plans often provide more comprehensive benefits with higher allowances.
How much do standalone plans cost?
Plans are surprisingly affordable — often $20-50/month for dental, and similar for vision and hearing. We can show you the exact options available in your area.
Is there a waiting period?
Some plans have waiting periods for major dental work. We identify plans with no waiting periods when that’s important to you.
