Dental Allowance Benefit
A dental allowance benefit gives you more freedom when you need dental care.
Get started and find a dentist by contacting Delta Dental at 1-855-830-6583 (TTY: 711).
All SCAN plans provide the medically needed dental services covered by Original Medicare.
Some SCAN plans offer a Dental Allowance Benefit that puts you in the driver’s seat. You have a set amount—an allowance—to spend on dental care for the year. You can see any dentist from Delta Dental’s EPO network, which includes many popular local dentists.
With SCAN’s Dental Allowance Benefit:
- You pay $0 for all procedures up to your allowance amount
- There is no waiting period before you can see a dentist
- For other care, reduced rates apply toward your allowance
- You choose any dentist from Delta Dental’s EPO network
Check your Evidence of Coverage to see exactly what your plan includes.

Frequently asked questions about the dental allowance
Q: I have a Dental Allowance plan through SCAN. Can I go to any Delta Dental dentist?
With a dental allowance, you don’t need to choose a primary dentist for your care. Instead, you can see any provider in Delta Dental’s extensive EPO network at any time. A print directory is available upon request. Contact a Delta representative to request yours: 1-855-830-6583 (TTY: 711).
Q. How is my Dental Allowance calculated?
Your allowance is determined by the amount Delta Dental pays the dentist. Once your allowance amount is met, your Dental Allowance Benefit is exhausted. You will have to pay out of pocket for any additional dental care you may need the rest of the year.
