Does Ameritas Dental Cover Dental Sealant?

Yes. Ameritas Dental covers 100% of dental sealant on standard plans, subject to your annual deductible ($50) and annual maximum ($2,000). At the national median price of $50, the plan pays approximately $0 and you pay $50 out of pocket.

At the national median price of $50, Ameritas Dental pays about $0 and you pay about $50. Actual out-of-pocket depends on: (1) whether the dentist is in Ameritas Dental's network, (2) how much of your annual max you've already used, (3) whether the deductible has been met this year, and (4) local pricing (see cost-by-city pages).

None for preventive on most plans; some plans waive basic waiting period. If you enrolled recently, verify with Ameritas Dental customer service before scheduling — some plans have a 6–12 month waiting period on major procedures.

Yes. Whatever Ameritas Dental doesn't cover, you can pay from an HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) using pre-tax dollars. Note the FSA "use it or lose it" rule.

Out-of-network dentists cost more out of pocket because Ameritas Dental pays based on the plan's "usual and customary" rate, not the dentist's actual charge. If your dentist charges $50 and the plan's UCR is lower, you pay the difference. Use Ameritas Dental's find-a-dentist tool to check network status before scheduling.
