The Good

  • Great Website

Five Dental Plan Types

There are five Humana dental plans, each offering different kinds of benefits:

  • Dental Value
  • Dental Loyalty Plus
  • Dental Preventive Plus
  • Dental Savings Plus
  • Complete Dental

Humana’s Dental Value plan covers preventive services 100 percent after the copay. It also offers discounts when patients receive dental services from an in-network provider that are as high as 25 percent. There are no waiting periods.

Humana’s Dental Loyalty Plus plan offers in-network dental coverage for 100 percent of preventive care, 40-70 percent of basic services, and 20-50 percent of major services. The percentages increase to the maximum indicated at the third year of being on the plan. There are also no waiting periods.

Humana’s Dental Preventive Plus plan offers 100 percent coverage for preventive services and 50 percent coverage for basic dental care after the deductible is met. It also provides in-network discounts for major dental work, like oral surgery. There is only a six-month waiting period for basic services.

Humana’s Dental Savings Plus plan does not have any waiting periods. It covers cleanings and exams at 20-40 percent. It also allows its members access to in-network discounts for basic, major, and orthodontic services. It even has discounts for prescriptions. This plan offering is great for those looking at dental savings plans instead of more traditional dental plans.

Humana’s Complete Dental plan offers the most comprehensive coverage. Preventive services are covered at 100 percent. Basic services are covered at 80 percent after the deductible is met. Major services are covered at 50 percent once the deductible is met. There are waiting periods of six months for basic services and one year for major services. These waiting periods can be waived with proof of prior insurance.

Great Website

Customers can receive quotes, view dental benefits and plan availability, and find in-network dentists on the Human website. Since many of Humana’s dental discounts are only available in-network, this is a useful tool.

Prayer Partner Jacksonville, FL

My insurance company closed and Humana bought their policies. OMG what a mistake. We had GREAT insurnce with Delta Care and Humana can't hold a camera to them. No copay for off visits, now $15. $20 to the specialist, now $40. Humana did call me to see how I liked the specialist who pulled my tooth and I told them he was okay. When they asked what my copay was I told them $50 and that's when I found out it should only be $40. She called them while I held on the phone and they said that extra $10 was for rubber gloves, glasses or face shields, anything they use on only one patient. And a portion goes towards lab coats. I went back to my PCP dentist for my consult on what to do next and they charged me $129 on my way out. I told them I didn't pay for consultations and they said this was an extended consult. And they want me to get a deep cleaning. With my insurance (Humana) its $700....that's my copay. No thank you. I changed dentists.

I used Humana for several months and wish I never did. I signed up for coverage over the phone and was given my monthly rates and then when I went to my doctor after confirming with Humana they cover that doctor I was told they didn't. I felt manipulated.

Coverage is not great. Pricing is extremely high and they don't even cover the claims. They don't have a large variety of providers on their network either.
