Original Medicare generally does not cover routine dental, vision, or hearing care. Services like cleanings, eye exams, glasses, and hearing aids often must be paid for out of pocket.

Dental, Vision & Hearing (DVH) insurance helps reduce those costs by providing benefits for many routine services.

What Does DVH Insurance Cover?

Coverage varies by carrier and plan, but many plans include benefits for:

Dental

Preventive cleanings
Exams and X-rays
Fillings
Crowns
Dentures

Vision

Annual eye exams
Eyeglass frames and lenses
Contact lenses

Hearing

Hearing exams
Hearing aids
Fittings and adjustments

Who Can Benefit?

A DVH plan may be a good choice if you:

Visit the dentist regularly.
Wear prescription glasses or contact lenses.
Need hearing care.
Want help managing routine healthcare expenses.

Choosing the Right Plan

Not all plans are the same. Before enrolling, compare:

Monthly premium
Covered services
Provider network
Waiting periods
Annual benefit limits

Choosing the right plan can help you receive the care you need while staying within your budget.

Is DVH Insurance Worth It?

For many people, the answer is yes.

Routine dental, vision, and hearing care can become expensive over time. A DVH plan may help lower out-of-pocket costs while encouraging preventive care that supports your overall health.
