True or False: Medicare Advantage Plans sometimes cover routine dental services.

The statement is true because Medicare Advantage Plans, also known as Medicare Part C, often include additional benefits that are not available under Original Medicare, such as routine dental services. These plans are offered by private insurance companies and can vary in terms of coverage. Many Medicare Advantage Plans do provide coverage for routine dental care, which may include preventive services like cleanings, exams, and sometimes even basic restorative services.

It's important to note that the specifics of what is covered can differ significantly from one plan to another, and patients should review their individual plan documents to understand the exact dental benefits provided. This inclusion of dental care is one of the attractive features of Medicare Advantage Plans, as they aim to provide more comprehensive healthcare services beyond basic medical coverage.

Regarding the other options: coverage "only for certain patients" suggests limitations based on eligibility that are not typical, as dental coverage can apply to all enrollees in a plan that includes it. The option indicating "only for emergency procedures" does not encompass the routine nature of the services typically covered by those plans. Both of these options mischaracterize the extent of coverage that some Medicare Advantage Plans may offer for routine dental services.
