This report provides data on the scope of dental benefits offered to Medicare enrollees. Areas explored include the share of Medicare beneficiaries with dental coverage, the share with a dental visit in the past 12 months, and out-of-pocket spending on dental care. The analysis draws from multiple datasets, including the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey and the Medicare Advantage Enrollment and Benefit files.
