Group Health Insurance Plan

If you get your health plan through your job, this is called a group health insurance plan. It's also known as group coverage or a group plan.

Dental

Dental insurance plans cover part of your dental costs for you and your family.

  • Can cover a wide range of services or just basic care.
  • Can be bought as part of your Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma longer-term plan or by itself through a separate, stand-alone dental plan.
  • Is required for children age 18 or younger under the Affordable Care Act.

Medicare

Medicare is the federal health insurance program for people age 65 or older, or people under 65 with certain disabilities or illnesses.

  • Medicare has 4 basic parts that, together, help with health care costs.
  • Original Medicare has 2 parts: Part A (hospital coverage) and Part B (medical coverage)
  • Part A and Part B don't cover everything, so you may want to buy Part C (Medicare Advantage) and Part D (drug coverage) from a private health insurance company.

  • If you qualify, your coverage can start right away.
