Are Medicare Advantage dental, vision, and hearing benefits changing in 2026?
Yes. Many Medicare Advantage plans adjust their extra benefits every year. While dental, vision, and hearing coverage remains a major reason people choose Medicare Advantage, the amount of coverage, provider networks, copays, and annual benefit limits may change from one year to the next.
For example, one plan may increase dental coverage while reducing hearing aid benefits. Another may require you to use a different network of providers.
The best plan isn’t always the one you enrolled in last year. During Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period, it’s important to review your current plan and compare it with other available options.
At Lighthouse Health Advisors, we help Florida Medicare beneficiaries understand these changes so they can choose coverage that fits their healthcare needs and budget.
