Having dental and vision insurance can give you much-needed peace of mind—especially when on the road. With a quality insurance policy, you can get coverage for anything from eye exams and prescription glasses to more complex procedures such as root canals and extractions.
Dental and vision plans typically fall into one of three categories: employer-based, self-purchased, or “riders” attached to medical insurance policies.
Whether you currently have coverage or are trying to decide whether to add on dental and vision benefits, it’s important to understand the basics of these supplemental insurances.
Enrolling in a dental and vision insurance plan would add additional costs to your monthly budget. So, are they worth it?
The simple answer is: yes, with the right plans, the benefits will outweigh the costs. More importantly, you'll be able to take care of your teeth, gums and eyes without having to worry about expensive bills just to see the doctor.
The great thing about dental insurance is that it can cover so much of the care that you need to maintain a perfect smile. Of course, coverage will vary from full coverage dental plans to more limited plans, but you can generally expect that you’ll receive support for the following:
Vision plans can vary considerably in their coverage offerings. Our plans offer some coverage on services like laser surgery and lens enhancements like bifocals or progressive lenses. We also offer more extensive plans that include covered or discounted prescription eyeglasses, sunglasses, or contact lenses.
As you can see, much of the routine care that you need is covered when you have the right insurance. And expensive procedures that can restore your smile and protect your eyesight may also be covered, at least to a certain degree, to help you save a lot of money.

Medicaid provides health coverage to millions of Americans, including eligible low-income adults, children, pregnant women, elderly adults and people with disabilities. Medicaid is funded jointly by states and the federal government. Medicare is a federal program. It provides coverage for people age 65 and older, and also some people under age 65 who qualify due to a disability.
Some people qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. These people qualify for Medicare due to age (by being age 65 or older) or because they have a disability. They also qualify for Medicaid because they meet Medicaid's state requirements. People who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid are "dual eligible."
