Endodontist That Accepts Medicare Dental Plans in Miami

Which Medicare Plans We Accept

We accept dental benefits from the following Medicare Advantage carriers:

• Humana Medicare
• UnitedHealthcare Medicare
• Delta Dental Medicare
• Liberty Dental Medicare

Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover root canals or most dental procedures. If you have Original Medicare only, we accept standalone dental plans and offer payment options. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan (Part C) with dental benefits from one of the carriers above, we accept it. Dental coverage under Medicare Advantage varies widely by plan, so call us with your member ID and we will check what your specific plan covers.

How Medicare Coverage Works for Endodontic Treatment

Medicare Advantage dental benefits range from preventive-only coverage to comprehensive plans that cover root canals, crowns, and other major services. Plans that cover major services typically have an annual dental maximum and may apply a coinsurance percentage to endodontic procedures. Some plans require a referral or pre-authorization for specialist care.

Before your appointment, our team calls your plan to verify what endodontic services are covered, what your expected out-of-pocket cost will be, and whether any approval is needed. You receive a written estimate before treatment begins. If your plan has a low annual maximum and you need extensive treatment, we discuss options including financing.

What to Bring to Your Appointment

To make your first visit smooth, bring the following:

• Your insurance card (physical or digital)
• A photo ID
• A list of current medications
• Any referral paperwork or X-rays from your general dentist

Do not delay an urgent visit because you are missing paperwork. If you are in pain, call us and we will work with what you have. We offer same-day emergency appointments at both offices.

• My Medicare Advantage plan has a low dental maximum. What are my options?

  Plan participation can vary by office. Call the location you want to visit with your member ID and we will confirm network status for that office.
