“Eligible adults enrolled in Colorado Medicaid now have access to more comprehensive dental services which builds upon the basic preventative services that became available on April 1, 2014. The new dental benefit provides Medicaid adults, age 21 and over, up to $1,000 in dental services per state fiscal year (July 1 – June 30) and includes the following services: basic preventative dental exams, diagnostic and restorative dental services (e.g. x-rays, fillings), extraction, root canals, crowns, partial dentures, complete dentures, periodontal scaling, and root planning. *Please note that partial and complete dentures are not subject to the $1,000 cap per state fiscal year.
The Department has contracted with DentaQuest as its Administrative Services Organization (ASO) to help manage the benefit and provide a customer service center for Medicaid dental questions. The ASO will also help the Department grow its dental provider network. Clients may search for dental providers in their area by visiting the ASO’s website. Additional information, including frequently asked questions about the new dental benefit, can be found here.” [Source: HCPF]
