Dental coverage

0

Q. I have enrolled in GEHA insurance for the first time. I had BC/BS before as a retiree and switched because of cost. Can you tell me if dental is covered by it automatically or is it separate?

A. As a rule, FEHB fee-for-service plans, such as BC/BS and GEHA, have limited dental benefits. If you want more complete dental coverage, you’ll have to separately enroll in the Federal Employee Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP).
