DENTAL

Mercy Care Plan members under age 21 are covered for comprehensive dental services. The use of preventive dental services is strongly encouraged. To support this, Mercy Care Plan contracts directly with dental providers and allows members to select a dentist from a published dental directory. No PCP referral or prior authorization is required for a member to see a contracted general dentist.

Dental services for adults are limited to emergency dental services, medically necessary dentures and pre-transplant dental services. Specific dental services covered under these limitations can be determined by the member's dentist. No prior authorization is needed for emergency services.
