Anthem Adds Virtual Dental and Orthodontic Care Benefits May 1

Anthem is expanding its care options to give members better access to dental care during the COVID-19 crisis. The TeleDentists® and Ortho@Home providers joined the Dental Prime and Complete plan networks on May 1, 2020. 

The TeleDentists

The TeleDentists is a service that offers emergency dental care 24/7 on computers, tablets and smartphones. Anthem plans will cover teledentistry exams at 100 percent with no deductibles, copays, paperwork, or claims to file through June 30, 2020. Anthem will cover teledentistry the same way as they do equivalent care in a dentist’s office. 

The TeleDentists flyer provides more information for you and your group clients.

Ortho@Home

Members can also choose virtual services for teeth straightening through Ortho@Home, Anthem’s new at-home orthodontia program. Members with orthodontic benefits will have access to at-home clear aligner therapy. They will also receive retainers and teeth whitening when treatment is finished. This flyer explains the details. 

Making affordable services accessible is part of Anthem’s continuing commitment to meet their members’ whole health needs, while providing safe, remote care during the pandemic.
