Does child health plus cover braces?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Child Health Plus: No. Child health plus is insurance coverage for your medical and surgical health and does not cover any dental conditions.

See below: You need to call your insurance company and ask. But, most health/dental plans do not cover braces.

Don't think so: Every plan is different, but from what I have read about ny's plan, the answer is no. Ask your family dentist to refer you to an orthodontist to discuss this issue.
