What are the eligibility requirements for dental implant coverage?

While Medicare does not cover dental implants, there are certain eligibility requirements for other types of dental implant coverage:

• Age requirements: Some dental insurance plans may have age restrictions for dental implant coverage. For example, a plan may only cover dental implants for individuals who are 18 years of age or older.
• Waiting period: Some dental insurance plans may have a waiting period before coverage for dental implants begins. This waiting period can vary depending on the insurance plan.
• Prior authorization: Some dental insurance plans may require prior authorization for dental implant coverage. This means that the insurance provider must approve the need for dental implants before they will provide coverage.
• Pre-existing conditions: Some dental insurance plans may exclude coverage for dental implants if the need for the implants is due to a pre-existing condition.
