Why dental, vision and hearing insurance for seniors is important

As you age, your teeth, eyes, and ears may weaken or wear down and require routine care.1 The cost of preventative care can add up over time, especially when you need occasional major dental services, new vision corrective materials, or hearing appliances. Dental, vision and hearing insurance offers several key advantages:

  • Helps cover routine and unexpected health expenses: DVH insurance can help reduce the cost of routine care and unexpected dental, vision and hearing procedures.
  • Cost effective: DVH insurance offers cost-effective dental, vision and hearing insurance collectively for one monthly premium.
  • Help maintain good health: With routine dental, vision and hearing care, you may be able to catch early warning signs of potentially bigger health issues.

How seniors can apply for dental, vision and hearing insurance coverage

Applying for dental, vision and hearing insurance from Aflac is an easy, straightforward process:

  • Determine your needs and budget: Some seniors may feel they only need one or two types of coverage when considering dental, vision, and hearing insurance. However, your healthcare needs may change, and with the increasing benefits of a DVH insurance policy, it can be more cost-effective to get a DVH plan rather than separate policies.
  • Compare plans: The DVH Core Plan features lower premiums, but also has lower coverage amounts and annual maximums. The DVH Elite Plan offers shorter waiting periods, more benefit coverage options and a higher annual maximum, but may have higher premiums.
  • Chat with an agent: Pricing depends on your coverage levels and plan choice, so speaking with an agent can help you determine the right dental, vision and hearing insurance plan and get a policy quote.
