Dental Allowance

Good dental health affects your overall health. It can affect your comfort, your diet, and your self-image. It also decreases the risk of systemic diseases. To encourage proper oral care, Health New England offers a Dental Allowance to Medicare Advantage plan members living in Western Massachusetts.
