TO YOUR BENEFIT
If you have tooth decay or gum disease, harmful bacteria can travel from your mouth to the rest of your body. This can lead to health conditions like pneumonia and heart disease. So taking care of your teeth by brushing, flossing and getting regular dental care is a great step to encourage a healthy heart and good health overall. To help make sure you get the dental care you need, Medica will reimburse you up to $400 - 750 per year, depending on your plan, for services from any licensed dentist within the U.S. and its territories. See your 2020 Quick Member Reference Guide (included as part of your member packet) to determine the limit for your plan. After you receive dental services, submit a Dental Reimbursement Claim Form along with your bill and proof of any payment you’ve made. To access forms, go to medica.com/members , select your plan, and go to About Your Coverage at the bottom of the page. Or it can be found in the 2020 Forms for Members booklet that came in your member packet. Remember, you must send us your request for reimbursement within 365 days from the date of service. Your claim reimbursement will take approximately 30 days to process and Medica will forward a check directly to you. Source: Mayo Clinic, Medica
