# Humana Dental

> Humana Dental profile covering its DPPO network, Medicare Advantage dental products, and enrollment through provider.humana.com.

**Humana Dental** offers commercial dental products and dental benefits embedded in Medicare Advantage plans. Humana reported a network of more than 135,000 unique dentists in 2024.<sup>1</sup> Providers should distinguish the member's specific commercial or Medicare Advantage product because participation, fees, and authorization rules can differ.

Payer portals, forms, IDs, and procedures change frequently. **Timely-filing limits and other participation terms come from the applicable current payer materials and your executed agreement.** Use this page as a starting point, then verify the product, entity, provider, location, and effective date with the payer.

## Enrollment and credentialing

Start at **[provider.humana.com](https://provider.humana.com/dentist-resources/join-dental-network)**; the dentist-resources join-the-network page.<sup>2</sup> Group dental products are described at [humana.com/group-benefits/group-dental](https://www.humana.com/group-benefits/group-dental).

## The MA dimension

For Humana Medicare Advantage dental products:

* **Fee schedules and preauthorization rules follow the plan**, not traditional Medicare. Verify per plan, not per carrier.
* Benefit design varies by MA plan and by year; annual maximums and covered-service lists move at each plan year.
* Recheck the member's current plan and benefits after annual enrollment changes.

See [Medicare Advantage dental](/reference/payers/profiles/medicare-advantage-dental) for how MA supplemental dental works generally.

## Operational notes

* **Commercial and MA dental products can have different fee schedules and rules under the same brand.** Confirm the member's product before quoting benefits.
* Network-size figures are company-reported and should not be treated as audited market data.
