Medicare dental policy 1 article

Medicare dental policy addresses the circumstances in which the United States Medicare programme does or does not cover dental services and how dental care relates to covered medical treatment. The subject includes statutory exclusions, defined exceptions, medically necessary dental services connected with certain medical care and the role of supplemental or privately administered benefits. It is a federal benefit-policy question rather than a description of all dental insurance for older adults. Medicaid and standalone private dental plans follow different eligibility and coverage rules.
