Dental Benefits

[VegasHighRoller]

Hello all,
I just got my insurance(central states health plan). There’s isn’t a Humana provider in my area. I want to get the free Dental Oral Exam & Dental Cleaning Benefit. Is there a fee if I were to use an out of network provider. I wouldn’t mind a small fee if there is any. Thanks!

You can use any provider, and if they charge more than allowed by in network provider, you pay difference, I believe.

You must live in tiny town, because were I'm at, decent sized city, we have several hundred that are providers.

Out of network costs a lot more. I would only go that way if there were no other option. There should always be someone in network withing driving distance.

Call Humana and ask them for the list of participating providers in your area.

You guys don't get a big book every year listing all providers? What kind of insurance company are you dealing with now? They must have a web site you could get that info off of too. You guys really do need to strike
