About CareFirst BlueDental Preferred - Low Option Plan for District of Columbia Medicare Beneficiaries

CareFirst BlueDental Preferred - Low Option Plan, by CareFirst, is a Dental PPO (Preferred Provider Organization or Participating Provider Organization) insurance plan for District of Columbia seniors. It's the most common type of dental insurance, and they almost always require you to pay a deductible.

Unlike an HMO, a dental PPO allows you to use a dentist outside of the network. However, when you use a network dentist you pay reduced rates. When you use a network dentist, you will typically pay a certain percentage (e.g. 20%) of the reduced rate (co-payment), and the insurance company pays the remainder (e.g. 80%).

Be sure to compare CareFirst BlueDental Preferred - Low Option Plan with other PPO dental insurance in District of Columbia before you choose.

The monthly premium with the CareFirst BlueDental Preferred - Low Option Plan plan starts at about $30.97. This is an estimated rate for a 65 year old woman living in District of Columbia that does not use tobacco. This is an insurance product, so you'll need to get a quote to get the exact cost for your situation.
