Questions About DVA Card

Frequently Asked Questions

Veterans may have questions about using their DVA card for dental services. These answers provide helpful information to guide cardholders.
Yes, the type of DVA card determines the dental services you can access. Gold Card holders are covered for all clinically necessary dental treatments, while White Card holders are limited to treatments for accepted service-related conditions. Additional requirements or approvals may apply based on the treatment and condition.

Not all dental treatments are covered under the DVA card. Most necessary procedures, such as check-ups, preventative care, fillings, crowns, and dentures, are included, but specific treatments may have limits or require prior approval.

High-cost items like bridges and crowns may be subject to the Annual Monetary Limit (AML). For clarification on exclusions or conditions, contact Redlands Gentle Dental Care or the Department of Veterans Affairs directly.

If the DVA card does not fully cover your treatment, you may need to pay the remaining costs. This often applies when the Annual Monetary Limit (AML) for high-cost treatments, such as specific crowns or bridges, has been exceeded.

In such cases, Redlands Gentle Dental Care can discuss any out-of-pocket expenses and payment arrangements to help manage costs. For specific details, contact the clinic or the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Usually, no upfront payment for treatments covered by your DVA card is required. However, if the treatment exceeds the Annual Monetary Limit (AML) or includes services not covered, you may need to pay the difference.

Redlands Gentle Dental Care can provide a detailed breakdown of costs before your appointment to help you understand potential out-of-pocket expenses. Contact the clinic for further clarification regarding your specific treatment.

Scheduling an appointment with your DVA card is simple. Contact Redlands Gentle Dental Care directly by phone or online and inform them you will use your DVA card. Provide your card details during the booking process so the clinic can verify your eligibility and entitlements.

If prior approval is needed for specific treatments, the clinic can help coordinate the required documentation before your appointment.

In most cases, your DVA card is sufficient. However, for treatments requiring prior approval, you may need to bring relevant documentation, such as approval letters or medical records related to your condition.

These documents help Redlands Gentle Dental Care verify your eligibility for specific treatments. Contact the clinic for guidance if you have questions about what to bring.
