Dental, eyewear and hearing coverage are offered as a network benefit or as a direct member reimbursement (DMR) benefit. View your Evidence of Coverage (EOC) for coverage details that are specific to your plan.
Plans that offer benefits through a network may require you to see a network provider.* You may have a different network for medical benefits than for dental, eyewear or hearing services. Your EOC can help you find the right network for your plan.
*Some HMO-POS and PPO members can also see providers that are not part of the network for certain services. However, they may have higher costs.
Plans that offer benefits through a direct member reimbursement (DMR) provide you with an annual allowance. You can use this allowance toward the costs for covered services provided by a licensed provider of your choice. Members pay out of pocket at the time they get care. They then send us a receipt and reimbursement form to get reimbursed up to the plan’s allowance.
You'll pay out of pocket at the time you get care and we'll reimburse you afterwards. Just file a claim and include your receipt and any required information. You can then be reimbursed up to your plan's allowance.
Plans that offer benefits through a network cover preventive care such as oral exams, cleanings and X-rays.* Some plans include comprehensive services such as fillings and extractions. You can find specific benefit information in the Evidence of Coverage.
Plans that offer DMR benefits cover most dental procedures, including preventive care and comprehensive services.

***Visit AetnaMedicareVision.com for a list of providers that don’t require you to take any action for eyewear reimbursement. If you use one of these providers, there’s no need to submit a claim form and receipt for eyewear reimbursement. The provider will automatically apply your eyewear benefit up to your plan’s annual eyewear coverage limit and submit the claim to us.
Most of our plans include coverage for hearing aids through a network provider. We teamed up with NationsHearing to provide hearing exam and hearing aid benefits. Hearing benefits generally include one annual routine hearing exam and hearing aid fitting covered at 100 percent. Most plans also include coverage toward the purchase of hearing aids.
