Learn about these benefits

You can find specific plan information in the Evidence of Coverage (EOC).

Direct member reimbursement (DMR)

A DMR is an annual allowance to see any licensed provider in the U.S. You will pay out of pocket and then submit a form to get reimbursed up to the plan’s allowance.

Network

Using a participating provider for covered services generally costs less. 

Dental benefits

Dental health is a big part of your total health and wellness. That’s why our plans offer dental coverage.

 

2024 dental benefits

Our Plus, Premier, Grand, Elite, Eagle and Value plans offer dental benefits which allow you to receive dental services, up to the maximum benefit allowance,  from an Aetna Dental® PPO network provider or a provider not in our network.
 

Out-of-network providers are not required to bill us directly, but many will. If they will not bill us directly, you can pay for covered services at the time you get care. Then, send us the information, like a receipt and reimbursement form, to get reimbursed.

Our SmartFit Plan offers dental benefits through a network which allows you to receive dental services, up to the benefit allowance maximum, from an Aetna Dental® PPO network provider or a provider not in our network.

Eyewear benefit

Your vision is important to your health and wellness. We pay up to an annual allowance maximum for non-Medicare covered prescription eyewear. You are responsible for any amount above the eyewear coverage limit. Refer to your Evidence of Coverage (EOC) to learn more.

 

2024 eyewear benefits

By using an EyeMed network provider, you no longer need to pay up front or submit a reimbursement form for prescription eyewear. Your plan covers one annual routine vision exam. It includes an annual allowance that can be used to  purchase eyewear.
 

You may visit any licensed vision provider in the U.S. If you see a provider outside of the EyeMed network, you may have to pay up front and submit a request to us to be reimbursed. Be sure to get an itemized list of the services received at the time of your visit.

Hearing benefit

Your hearing is important to your health and wellness. Because of this, all of our plans include coverage for hearing aids through a network provider. Our plan has teamed up with NationsHearing to provide your hearing exam and hearing aid benefit. Hearing aids must be purchased through them to be covered.

 

We pay up to an annual allowance maximum per ear for hearing aids. You are responsible for any amount above the hearing aid coverage limit. Refer to your Evidence of Coverage (EOC) to learn more. Hearing devices with $0 out of pocket are available.

 

All appointments must be scheduled through NationsHearing by calling 1-877-225-0137 ${tty}.
