NY Medicare Advantage dental: which plans do Brooklyn/NYC dentists actually accept?
I'm comparing Medicare Advantage plans for 2027 in Brooklyn, and dental is the deciding factor. With Aetna (dental through Liberty Dental), many dentists listed as in-network turned out not to actually take it. For anyone in NYC on Medicare: which plan do you have (Aetna/Liberty, Humana, UnitedHealthcare, Healthfirst, Emblem, Wellcare/Fidelis, or a stand-alone dental plan like Delta), and did you find a dentist who really accepted it? How did coverage go in practice with things like crowns, root canals and dentures, denials, the annual max, and wait times? Office names you're happy with would be a huge help. Thanks!
