Dental Plans

Dental Plan Overview

Your employees' Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico (BCBSNM) dental coverage can provide benefits for:

  • Diagnostic and Preventive Services
  • Endodontic Services
  • General Services (emergency treatment, general anesthesia, etc.)
  • Periodontal Services
  • Restorative Services
  • Orthodontics*
  • Prosthodontic Services*

With BCBSNM dental coverage:

  • Your employees can check the status of their dental claims and more by logging in to our secure member portal, Blue Access® for Members.
  • They can visit dental providers in or out of our network.
  • They can receive dental care from any licensed dentist (no referrals are necessary), however, receiving dental care from one of our in-network dentists provides significant savings and means less paperwork for them.
  • If your employees use an in-network dental provider, they won't be billed for the difference between a participating dentist's usual fees and the benefit limits for covered services, and they won't have to file claims.
  • If your employees prefer the flexibility to use an out-of-network dental provider, they will usually pay the full amount for services and file a claim form, and their out-of-pocket costs may be higher.

*Not all benefits listed are covered by all dental plans; please refer to your benefit summary to see which benefits are covered by your plan.

If your employees have questions about their dental benefits, coverage, filing claims, or finding a contracting dentist, they can call Customer Service toll-free at (877) 723-5697 or email us.
