Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mass. offers teledentistry access

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts said that it's offering three new programs to help support the oral healthcare needs of its members, as Massachusetts dental practices begin reopening after the temporary closure for nonemergency services during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Dental Blue members can now access three months of free use of the Toothpic teledentistry app, have special access to select Philips Sonicare oral health products for use at home, and can access in-person preventive services such as cleanings and exams twice in a calendar year instead of once every six months, according to the dental plan.
