Introducing the new Medicare dental buy-up quote and enroll feature for new and existing clients

We’re excited to introduce a new enhancement on Broker Connection—the Medicare dental buy-up quote and enroll feature! This functionality simplifies adding a buy-up dental PPO plan for your Blue Shield Medicare Supplement clients or an Optional Supplemental dental HMO or PPO plan for your Blue Shield MA-PD clients, making the process for adding dental coverage easier than ever.

Steps to enroll:

  1.  Log into your Broker Connection account, and from the Medicare  navigation menu, select Compare Plans & Enroll.
  2.  Search for your client by their Medicare ID (MBI) number or  contact information.
  3.  Click on client’s name and view profile.
  4.  Scroll to the bottom and click ‘Continue to plans’. Once on the plan list page, click on ‘Dental’ tab.
  5.  Select effective date, click on ‘Continue to plans’ and choose from the available dental plans, ‘Add to cart’, and click ‘Continue to apply’, once you are at the cart.

Note: The beneficiary must be present to sign the application before submitting.

For more information, please review the 2025 Medicare Enrollment Site Reference Guide (page 62) or contact your Broker Sales Manager.
