My Advantage plan includes some dental (which I'm not using) and vision. I believe it will pay the entirety of my yearly eye exam. Since I had cataract surgery three years ago I don't need prescription glasses or contacts, which saves me a bundle of money.

Dental is tricky, but vision coverage I think is fairly common. But a lot depends on just which supplemental or Advantage plan you have.
