United Healthcare also covers services at in-network dentists at higher rates than they do at out of network practices.
One of the most remarkable things about United Healthcare’s dental coverage is that your annual maximum may increase yearly for the first few years you have your plan. One plan begins with an annual maximum of $1,200 in the first year, which increases to $1,500 by the fourth year.
