Why You Need A Dentist That Has Joined Medicare.

Starting in mid 2016, a new federal law will go into effect:
Any dentist who treats Medicare beneficiaries must enroll in a program in order to prescribe medication to their qualifying patients with Part D drug plans.

Who will this new law impact?
This new law will directly impact Medicare patients whose dentists do not opt in to the program. Such patients will see an impact when their local pharmacy refuses to accept a prescription or makes them pay out of pocket because Medicare won’t reimburse the pharmacy.

Who will this law not impact?
This new law will not impact Affinity Dental of La Mesa Medicare patients. At Affinity Dental of La Mesa we have enrolled in the program and are able to complete full dental treatment plans that require pre and post op medications. No hassle. No problem.
