About IHC Bay Dental Plan for California Medicare Beneficiaries

IHC Bay Dental Plan, by The IHC Group, is a Dental PPO (Preferred Provider Organization or Participating Provider Organization) insurance plan for California 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 IHC Bay Dental Plan with other PPO dental insurance in California before you choose.

The monthly premium with the IHC Bay Dental Plan plan starts at about $25.80. This is an estimated rate for a 65 year old woman living in California 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.
