FAQ: Humana Dental and Root Canal (Molar)
Does Humana Dental cover root canal (molar)?▾
Yes. Humana Dental covers 50% of root canal (molar) on standard plans, subject to your annual deductible ($50) and annual maximum ($1,000). At the national median price of $1,050, the plan pays approximately $475 and you pay $575 out of pocket.
What's my out-of-pocket cost for a root canal (molar) with Humana Dental?▾
At the national median price of $1,050, Humana Dental pays about $475 and you pay about $575. Actual out-of-pocket depends on: (1) whether the dentist is in Humana 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).
Is there a waiting period?▾
None for preventive; 6 months for basic; 12 months for major. If you enrolled recently, verify with Humana Dental customer service before scheduling — some plans have a 6–12 month waiting period on major procedures.
Can I use an HSA or FSA with Humana Dental?▾
Yes. Whatever Humana 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.
What if my dentist is out of network?▾
Out-of-network dentists cost more out of pocket because Humana Dental pays based on the plan's "usual and customary" rate, not the dentist's actual charge. If your dentist charges $1,050 and the plan's UCR is lower, you pay the difference. Use Humana Dental's find-a-dentist tool to check network status before scheduling.
