Most flexibility in choosing providers.

Overview

The Traditional Preferred plan gives you freedom in selecting a dentist - but you could save on your out-of-pocket costs for covered services when you see an in-network dentist.

How it works

You can go to any dentist, but when you choose dentists in the HumanaDental PPO network, you can benefit from our negotiated discounts.

The plan covers a variety of preventive, basic, and major services. Some plans include orthodontia coverage. If your plan doesn't include orthodontia benefits, you may still receive up to a 20% savings by visiting orthodontists in our network and asking for the discount.*
