Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield is now offering an additional dental cleaning per benefit period for certain plan members who are pregnant or who have diabetes.
Members participating in the Dental Blue, Dental Prime, or Dental Complete plans and actively managed in one of the company's Diabetic or Maternal Health Care Management programs will be identified and automatically enrolled at no cost for an extra dental cleaning or periodontal maintenance procedure per benefit period.
Anthem will reach out to these members informing them of the additional benefit.
"At Anthem, we understand the importance of creating and supporting programs that are designed to help our members maintain healthy pregnancies and manage diseases like diabetes," said Barry Malinowski, vice president and medical director of Anthem in Ohio.
