So I Was Just Approved For HIP 2.0, Does It Cover Dental Services?

I have a form of gum disease that is making my teeth fall out. My dentist said it is the result of a gum disease that if left untreated could lead to mouth cancer...

I need my teeth pulled & dentures, will this be covered by HIP 2.0?

1. I don't know where you are, but Michigans insurance for qualified people- is covering dental

I know several people who have been able to see a dentist this past year who had no way to see one before the ACA.

3. Dental Coverage in Plus

I found a link that shows dental coverage is in HIP PLUS, but not Basic level.
Don't know what their dental plan covers, you'd have to call them probably.

4. Thank-You, I Was Approved For Hip State Plan Plus...

I was given Anthem as my provider & after further consultation I found out that the plan I have been approved for includes dental & vision which is a dream come true.

Being a low income, technically homeless because of that I am only required to pay $1 per month to my Power Contribution Account. Once I got my invoice I sent in a money order for $12 that way I've got my entire year paid for at once.

Additionally because I am under the care of a psychiatrist being treated for depression as well as extreme anxiety issues, I am fortunate to be considered 'medically frail' which as I understand includes additional benefits including but not limited to $0 copays on prescriptions, doctor visits, dental procedures as well as no yearly cap on the amount of money needed to spend in order to get my teeth fixed.

Governor Pence must have his eye on running for higher office because while he still refuses to expand Medicaid under the ACA, he took a step in the right direction by introducing HIP 2.0 and expanding it to those regardless of age to low income Hoosier's like myself...

5. Great news

I hope you get all the help you need now.
We pay for insurance that pays for nothing. Very high deductible.
I'm happy for you! Take care!
